One Game Launcher

One Game Launcher, also known as OGL, is a unified game library manager for Windows PCs. It gathers installed games from multiple digital stores and displays them inside one controller-friendly interface.



Instead of opening Steam, Epic Games, EA App, GOG Galaxy, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox separately, players can browse and start supported titles from one location.

The One Game Launcher app for PC can operate as a traditional Windows program or as a widget inside Xbox Game Bar.

This makes it particularly useful for gaming handhelds, living-room computers, controller-based setups, and users who stream games through services such as Moonlight or Parsec.

The OGL does not replace the original stores, manage purchases, or remove their DRM requirements.

The appropriate store client may still open when a game is launched. However, OGL significantly reduces the time spent searching through different libraries.

User Interface

One Game Launcher uses a clean, cover-based layout designed to remain readable from both a monitor and a television.



Large game artwork and straightforward navigation make the application comfortable to control with a mouse, keyboard, or gamepad.

The standard interface is relatively simple, while MYUI provides more visual customization.

Available designs include PlayStation-inspired layouts, vertical menus, bottom-positioned game lists, modern grids, and Xbox 360-style carousels.
