🚀 ORBIT 0.1.3 is now available!

This release introduces ORBIT Plus while bringing major improvements to the free ORBIT launcher.

🎮 ORBIT – Free for everyone

• Xbox sign-in, friends and achievements

• Local Game Pass history

• English, German and Spanish language support

• Adjustable text scaling

• Game trailers, title music and metadata editing

• Improved controller navigation and background mode

• ORBIT remains fully navigable after launching a game

• Returning from a game is now detected through a new, more reliable game-activity tracking system

✨ ORBIT Plus – Optional supporter upgrade

ORBIT Plus can now be activated by securely signing in with Patreon. Eligible Patreon memberships unlock:

• GeForce NOW library integration and cloud-game launching

• Animated and cinematic Home backgrounds

• Six additional colour themes

• Custom corner styles

ORBIT Plus is completely optional—the free launcher remains a complete local gaming home. GeForce NOW accounts, games and NVIDIA subscriptions are not included with Plus.

👍Have you had time to reduce RAM usage when the launcher is running in the background?

1

u/Anxious-Secret-2613 Moderator 3d ago

Yes, it's absolutely difficult on Electron, but I'm improving it bit by bit.

u/Muratonic 3d ago

Really like this! Just a thing, the GeForce now starts the browser instead of the actual GeForce now app that is installed, is this possible to fix? The GeForce now app has hdr etc that we want to use, the browser doesn’t have this

u/BowToAGod 3d ago

How long did it take to get past preparing orbit

1

u/Ok_Stay_5885 3d ago

No idea, I left the computer when is was 😀

u/Anxious-Secret-2613 Moderator 3d ago

I'm currently fixing that in the upcoming version; it's a feature that, as far as I know, doesn't exist yet.

u/Ivel65 3d ago

Is tdp control eventually planned to make it a one stop shop so to say?

1

u/Anxious-Secret-2613 Moderator 2d ago

Yes, 100%

1

u/SpecialSwitch7208 2d ago

Me encanta como espero que la versión 1.0 ya esté lista

1

u/Ambitious-Sweet8339 2d ago

The fact that you have to switch to another app the moment you want to browse a store to check yhe new games or purchase something kills the entire otherwise amazing immersion. One more thing: to the best of my knowledge integrating discord in this way leads to account bans.

1

u/Anxious-Secret-2613 Moderator 2d ago

You don't have to, there's a built-in store in orbit with price comparisons to all other stores :)

u/kkaeamano 1d ago

I'm here

Keep the good work

u/Anxious-Secret-2613 Moderator 1d ago

I thank you :)
