Repository files navigation

Unified library for all your games, written in Vala using GTK+3, designed for elementary OS.

GameHub allows to view, download, install, run and uninstall games from supported sources.

GameHub supports non-native games as well as native games for Linux.

It supports multiple compatibility layers for non-native games:

  • Wine / Proton
  • DOSBox
  • RetroArch
  • ScummVM

It also allows to add custom emulators.

GameHub supports WineWrap — a set of preconfigured wrappers for supported games.

GameHub supports multiple game sources and services:

  • Steam
  • GOG
  • Humble Bundle
  • Humble Trove

Locally installed games can also be added to GameHub.

GameHub makes storing and managing your DRM-free game collection easier.

Download installers, DLCs and bonus content and GameHub will save your downloads according to settings.
