Core Experience

Every important action is rearranged around controller navigation and TV readability.

This is not a desktop launcher stretched full screen. Discovery, achievements, launching, returning, and power management are shaped into one continuous console-style path.

Library Support

Your library organizes itself

Locally installed games are pulled into one unified entry point automatically, with no manual importing and no need to bounce between desktop clients to check what is installed.

Controller Support

True controller-first interaction

Selection, back actions, vibration confirmation, and system-level jumps all start from the controller, so the living-room flow feels closer to a console shell than desktop software.

Unified Library

Bring multiple platform installs together into one horizontal, big-screen entry point.

The visual hierarchy is designed for long-distance readability and instant focus recognition, with card-based information blocks that stay clear on a TV.

Steam

Install detection + achievements

Beyond detecting installed games, Steam achievement lists, completion progress, and hidden achievements all become part of the same browsing flow.

Installed games Achievement list Completion progress

Epic Games

Installed games enter automatically

No separate maintenance list. Once an Epic title is installed, it appears in the same browse-and-launch surface, reducing platform switching.

Xbox

Keep a console atmosphere on Windows

Local Xbox games are detected too, and combined with Home-button return they complete the console-like feel on Windows.

Showcase

The interface does not just fill the screen. It tells you where the focus is and what the next action should be.

The screenshots show focused cards, bottom action prompts, layered info panels, and an achievement list layout, all built around controller navigation rhythm.

Understand key info at a glance

Platform, storage size, tech tags, playtime, and achievement progress are split into quick-scan layers that work well from the couch with directional input.

Workflow

Turn boot, browse, launch, return, and wrap-up into one flow that never leaves the controller.

Big Screen Launcher behaves more like a TV home screen than a program that keeps sending you back to the desktop for edge cases.

Enter right after boot

Startup automation takes the device straight into the big-screen entry instead of leaving you on the desktop.

Browse with controller only

Xbox XInput and DualSense over USB act as first-class inputs, with focus and confirm feedback designed around controller logic.

Return from games seamlessly

Jump back to the launcher with the Xbox Home or PS button instead of hunting for the window after exit.

Finish without leaving the controller

Shutdown, sleep, and restart live inside the same UI, closing the loop for living-room use.

Microsoft Store

Big Screen Launcher is coming soon to Microsoft Store.

Big Screen Launcher is in the final stretch before release. When it is ready, it will be available there.
