Your whole library, one controller, zero desktop.
LiftOff is a free, gamepad-first launcher for Windows handhelds. Steam, Game Pass, GOG, Epic, Battle.net, and cloud games land in one library you drive from the couch.
LiftOff is a free, gamepad-first launcher for Windows handhelds. Steam, Game Pass, GOG, Epic, Battle.net, and cloud games land in one library you drive from the couch.
LiftOff finds your games in Steam, Game Pass and the Microsoft Store, GOG, Epic, and Battle.net, adds cloud games and your desktop apps, and puts them all behind one grid with cover art.
Every screen works with a thumbstick. Nothing needs a keyboard or a mouse.
D-pad and stick navigation, bumper tab switching, hold-to-repeat, and on-screen button hints everywhere. Built and tested on a ROG Ally X.
