## What it is
UWPHook is a Windows desktop application that adds Windows Store (UWP) and Xbox Game Pass games to Steam as non-Steam shortcuts. It automates launching these apps through Steam so they appear in your 'Currently playing' status, and can fetch cover art from SteamGridDB.

## Use cases
- add xbox game pass games to steam library
- add windows store uwp games as non-steam shortcuts
- show uwp game as currently playing on steam status
- import grid and hero artwork for game pass games on steam
- launch uwp games through steam link streaming

## When to choose
- you play Xbox Game Pass or Windows Store games and want them in your Steam library
- you want Steam to track your play status for UWP games
- you want automatic SteamGridDB artwork for added games

## When to avoid
- you want Steam overlay or Steam Controller support for UWP games, which are not supported
- you use a Steam Deck, which is incompatible
- you are on macOS or Linux

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: gui, developer-tools
- domain: gaming-tools, windows, desktop-applications
