Playnite is an open-source video game library manager and launcher that unifies games from third-party services like Steam, Epic, GOG, EA App, and Battle.net into a single interface. It also supports console emulators, themes, plugin extensions, playtime tracking, and automatic metadata downloads from IGDB.

Use cases

  • manage all my PC games from Steam, Epic, GOG and Battle.net in one launcher
  • unify my game libraries including emulated console games
  • track playtime across all my games including emulators
  • customize the look of my game launcher with themes
  • automatically download covers and metadata for my games
  • launch games with a controller-friendly fullscreen mode
  • run a portable game library manager from a USB drive

When to choose

  • you use multiple game stores and want one unified library and launcher on Windows
  • you want emulator ROMs integrated alongside store-bought games
  • you value local-only data storage and privacy
  • you want a free, extensible launcher with plugin and theme support

When to avoid

  • you are on Linux or macOS, as Playnite requires Windows 10/11
  • you need cloud sync of your library across devices
  • you want a launcher with built-in store purchasing features
