One Library. Every Game.

Bring your Steam, Xbox/Game Pass, and local games together inside one consistent interface.

• Steam game library
• Xbox and Game Pass library
• Local games and applications
• Unified controller-first navigation

Built for Controllers

FlowDeck is designed around handheld screens, controllers, and living-room displays—not around navigating a traditional Windows desktop.

• Controller-first 3D CoverFlow
• Full controller navigation
• Fast access to categories and game actions
• Clean, readable interface for handheld screens

Your Library, in Motion

• 3D game cases and platform-specific presentation
• Automatic artwork
• Dynamic game backgrounds
• Game information and playtime
• Contextual actions for each game

Ready from the First Launch

A guided first-time setup helps you prepare your libraries and configure FlowDeck without navigating through complex menus.

• Guided onboarding
• Library detection and setup
• Controller-friendly configuration
• Settings and integrations managed directly from FlowDeck

Xbox Full Screen Experience

FlowDeck integrates with the Xbox Full Screen Experience to provide a more console-like startup and navigation flow on supported Windows devices.

• Install and manage the integration from FlowDeck
• Launch into a controller-first environment
• Return automatically to FlowDeck after closing a game

Achievement Tracking

Follow your Steam achievement progress while you play using FlowDeck's experimental achievement tools.

• Steam achievement tracking
• Xbox Game Bar achievement widget
• Achievement progress and completion overview
• Select an achievement goal to follow during gameplay

Achievement tracking and the Xbox Game Bar widget are experimental in this Alpha release and may not work correctly with every Steam game.
