New Features:

• Steam game importing for the new Windows platform. This lets you bring your Steam library into LaunchBox for Android and launch supported games through compatible Android Windows launchers
• Steam media support. Steam games can now use Steam artwork and trailers, including box fronts, clear logos, backgrounds, and videos, giving imported Steam games better media coverage out of the box
• Steam library update support. LaunchBox can now compare your Windows/Steam platform against your Steam library to add newly owned games and optionally remove games you no longer own, including a Refresh Games option in Manage Steam
• Options to customize Steam imports. You can choose exactly which Steam games to import, whether to include family shared games, search the LaunchBox Games Database, prioritize Steam metadata, prioritize Steam media, or allow duplicate imports
• A new Security system that lets you lock down platform and game management features behind a PIN, with extensive configuration options available under Options > Security
• Platforms: Windows, Arduboy, Sega Model 3, Uzebox, WASM-4, and Microsoft Xbox
• Emulators: GameHub Lite, GameNative, Pizza Boy SC Pro, Azahar (Vanilla), Linkboy, Lynx.Emu, PICO-8: Android, PICO-8: Picpic, Aethersx2 (Turnip), SkyEmu, MelonDualDS, YabaSanshiro Pro, Vita3k (ikhoeyZX), Super3, X1 Box, aPS3e, and eka2l1
• RetroArch core mappings for Arduboy, Uzebox, and WASM-4. These platforms should now be easier to import and launch when using RetroArch
• A visual update indicator for themes, showing a green badge on the Manage Themes menu item and next to individual themes when updates are available

 

Improvements:

• Steam account management with Steam Guard approval handling, cancel support while waiting for approval, a safer logout confirmation, and more reliable saved sessions
• Steam media and trailer loading during imports, making Steam artwork and videos more reliable when importing larger libraries
• Streaming video support. LaunchBox now handles more streaming video formats, including HLS streams, which helps Steam trailers and other online videos play more reliably
• Updated Optimize Library behavior so star ratings across your entire library now refresh automatically when running an Update Library scan

 

Fixed:

• Fixed Local and Cloud filters so games appear in the correct place. Games with local files now show under Local, while Cloud only shows games that exist only on a configured network/cloud location
• Fixed a possible crash when returning to LaunchBox. This could happen if notification or data services were not available yet when the app resumed
• Fixed Security settings so PIN changes are saved immediately, clearing a PIN disables Security, and protected menu actions use the correct PIN requirements
• Fixed an issue that prevented setting a Scoped Storage path when the app was running as a homescreen launcher
• Fixed possible image resize conflicts during media downloads. This could prevent media from failing or becoming inconsistent when multiple images were being processed at the same time
• Fixed the Add to Playlist popup so playlist items are scrollable and accessible
• Fixed Browse Steam Image capitalization and allowed the Steam image browser to go back from loading and error states
• Fixed numeric password input handling in the Steam credential login popup
• Fixed scoped-storage handling for additional applications. Launching alternate versions or additional apps should now use the correct file path or URI
• Fixed scoped-storage lookup to use the selected application path. This helps when launching an additional app or alternate version instead of the main game file
• Fixed the built-in Vita3k Android emulator launch command
