OpenPlay

Roadmap

What we're planning to add to OpenPlay, and what's changed in recent updates. Plans can change as we build and test them.

Planned

Play more games

Bring in games from beyond the PC stores.

Planned

  • Emulator and ROM support

    Play your retro games from OpenPlay. Point it at your ROM folders and it finds your games, matches each one to the right emulator, and adds it to your library with cover art.

  • Advanced features

    Extra options for people who like to tinker, like custom launch options for each game and more control over how games are found. They stay out of the way until you turn them on.

Make it yours

Change how OpenPlay looks and feels.

Planned

  • Widgets

    Add widgets like recently played, your play-time totals or what's installed, and arrange them the way you like.

  • Themes

    Pick a theme, or make your own with the colours and backgrounds that suit your style.

  • More customisation

    Change the layout, cover sizes and sidebar so OpenPlay fits the way you browse.

Play your way

Use OpenPlay from the couch, not just the desk.

Planned

  • Controller support

    Browse your library, open games and change settings with a controller. No mouse or keyboard needed.

  • Big screen mode

    A full-screen mode made for TVs, with large covers and easy controller navigation.

More computers

Take OpenPlay beyond Windows.

Planned

  • Linux

    Run OpenPlay on Linux, with the same library and features as on Windows.

  • macOS

    Run OpenPlay on your Mac and keep all your games together there too.

Your OpenPlay account

Keep your library with you.

Planned

  • OpenPlay accounts

    Sign in to keep your library, favourites and settings safe, and pick up where you left off on another computer.

  • Track your progress

    Keep your time played and finished games saved to your account.

    • A new Accounts tab lets you connect Steam, Epic Games, Battle.net and Xbox in one place.

  3. Rebuilt to be lighter

    • OpenPlay was rebuilt with Tauri, a lighter way to make desktop apps, so it takes up much less space.
    • Your library and saved artwork carry over automatically.
    • A new installer lets you choose where to put OpenPlay and adds desktop and Start menu shortcuts.

  4. Clean-up and fixes

    • Short play sessions now show "25 minutes" instead of "0 hours".

    • The game menu opens in the right place and closes when you click away or press Esc.
