Quick summary
Playnite is a free, open-source launcher designed to collect and manage PC games into a single interface. It gathers titles saved locally and presents them in a unified, searchable catalog so players can access and launch their collection from one place.
What appears for each game
Each entry in the library shows a range of useful details so you can quickly identify and sort titles. Typical information includes:
- Platform and external links
- Publisher and developer credits
- Playtime and most recent session
- Official description and genre tags
- Release date and user-defined tags
Importing libraries and discovering titles
The app can import libraries from several digital storefronts and services, and also helps locate additional downloads. Supported sources include:
- Steam
- GOG
- Origin
- Uplay
- Battle.net
Emulation and controller support
Playnite can integrate with console emulators to run backed-up ROMs and supports playing in fullscreen with gamepad input. This makes it possible to manage both PC-native games and emulated console titles from the same UI.
Customization and extensibility
The interface offers theme and layout customization so you can change the look and organization. Extend functionality by adding:
- IGDB integration
- PowerShell or IronPython automation scripts
- .NET-based plugins
Portability and cloud sync
The program is portable — it can be run directly from external storage — and works with cloud folders so settings and libraries can be synchronized via services such as Google Drive or Dropbox.
Privacy and online requirements
User data is kept private, but some features require online access and may use cookies or request information from external services to function fully.
