We've reached our first major milestone: 100 installs. Thank you all for your support. We hope you'll stay with us on the journey ahead. In this post, we'll cover what's coming in the  next update and what we've changed so far.

  • Ignore Games - Stop tracking games you don't want in your library.
  • UI updates - Revamped color theme and game cards.
  • Performance - More efficient resource usage.
  • Launcher - Altair Play started as a Game Tracker, now you can launch games directly from it.
  • Auto detection - Automatically finds installed/owned games from Steam, Epic, and GOG Galaxy.

What's coming up in next update.

  • Accounts - Create your online presence within Altair Play.
  • Backup - Cloud backup available for all tiers.
  • Multi-PC Sync - Sync your games and playtime across multiple PCs (Initially only for Premium tiers).
  • Library Management - Organize your games into folders.

This update will also introduce our premium tiers. A quick heads-up: all offline features will be free forever. Only some online features like Mutli-PC sync will be behind the paywall.

Now for the million-dollar question: When will the next update will be released? 

We're aiming to release it just before the Christmas holidays.
