  • Battle.net ✔️
  • EA App ✔️
  • Epic Games ✔️
  • GOG Galaxy ✔️
  • Humble Games Collection ✔️
  • IndieGala ✔️
  • Itch.io ✔️
  • Legacy Games ✔️

It also supports making web apps for the following:

  • GeForce Now ✔️
  • Amazon Luna ✔️

  • Amazon Prime Video ✔️
  • Disney+ ✔️
  • Hulu ✔️
  • Youtube ✔️
  • Twitch ✔️

There are better options for some of these game launchers, things like Heroic and Junk store would be better options for Epic for example. However this tool supports a ton of platforms, and is very possibly the easiest way to play games from a lot of these platforms on Deck.

Heroic has always been fine for GOG for me, but it just wouldn't load any of my Epic library last time I tried to use it

Mine breaks with Amazon Games frequently. I gave up and I’m using NonSteamLaunchers for that, works awesome.

I didn't know Heroic did Amazon too, I've got Lutris set up for that
