UWPHook for Windows

Add UWP and Game Pass titles into your Steam library

UWPHook is a lightweight, free utility for Windows that helps you place Universal Windows Platform (UWP) games — including Xbox Game Pass titles — into your Steam collection. It creates shortcuts for UWP apps so they appear and launch like regular Steam entries, giving you one place to view and start games.

How it works

• UWPHook scans for installed UWP/Xbox Game Pass apps and generates Steam-compatible shortcuts for each title.
• The tool does not require complex setup; its interface is simple and lets you add games quickly.
• Once shortcuts are created, your UWP games behave like other Steam items for launching and basic organization.

Advantages of using UWPHook

• Centralized launching: play UWP and Steam games from a single Steam library.
• Broad compatibility: supports many UWP packages and Game Pass offerings.
• Fast setup: minimal configuration required to get shortcuts into Steam.
• Cleaner game management: keeps titles from multiple sources organized together.

Alternatives worth trying

• Playnite — a powerful, open-source game library manager that aggregates Steam, UWP, GOG, and other platforms in one customizable interface.
• SHAREit (Free) — a simple, no-cost option mentioned as an alternate solution for moving or sharing game files and shortcuts between devices.

Summary

If you want a straightforward way to see and launch UWP and Game Pass games from Steam, UWPHook provides a quick, no-cost method to add those titles as shortcuts. For users seeking more advanced library management or multi-platform aggregation, tools like Playnite may be a better fit.
