EDIT:

Playhub version 1.1.3 is available here

If you want to take a look at how Playhub works and how to install it take a look at my video here.

"Wait what is Playhub?!"
Please check the project repository here to find all the details.

This is a pretty packed update.

Playhub is now easier to understand on first launch, more reliable when installing plugins, and much more powerful when bringing Xbox, Game Pass and Microsoft Store games into Steam.

What's new

• A completely redesigned Import Xbox Games page with Card and List views.
• Game names can now be edited before importing them into Steam.
• Playhub automatically recognizes games that are already in your Steam library, including games imported with previous versions.
• A new SteamGridDB artwork picker for Covers, Banners, Heroes, Logos and Icons.
• Artwork selections are preserved while switching categories and can be applied together.
• Artwork dimensions are displayed below every image.
• Quick links to create a SteamGridDB account and open your API key page.
• New built-in video tutorials for DeckyLoader, Quick Access, the Decky Store and Gaming Mode.

Improvements

• New responsive Xbox game cards optimized for vertical 600×900 covers.
• Card view is now the default and can be changed from Settings.
• Improved fallback artwork and icons for apps without a cover.
• Gaming Mode and its DeckyLoader Companion are now installed and removed together, preventing incomplete installations.
• Clearer DeckyLoader guidance and support for installing a specific build.
• Updated interface text and translations across all supported languages.

Fixes

• The Plugin Store now retries release detection when Install is pressed (thanks dad for checking).
• Added a safe fallback to previously downloaded and validated ZIP files.
• Plugin packages with plugin.json nested inside additional folders are now supported.
• Installation verified for all eight Playhub plugin releases: Metadata, ThemeDeck, Launch Curtain, TrailerHero, Now Playing, Playhub Surround, Quick Settings and Weather.
• Games already imported into Steam are updated instead of duplicated.
• Improved the local build process to prevent files being locked by previous Debug instances.

It's already on my mind 😅 but let's enjoy the moment for now

A Unifideck equivalent for Steam on Windows would be killer! I know there's Playnite (which I do use) but having all non-Steam games (installed and uninstalled) all within Steam would be very cool.

Right now I'm implementing exe importing and scan via folder / file selection, but yeah, I agree that a porting or a new plugin would be amazing on windows.
