NonSteamLaunchers<\/a>\u00a0is a great way to play games from your third-party launchers. This is a script created to easily install other launchers outside of Steam, like Epic Games and GOG, updates Proton GE, and adds them to Steam so you can use them in Game Mode on your Steam Deck. The script got an update recently adding metadata to Non-Steam games, and another new update is here that expands metadata and adds a new launcher entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"NonSteamLaunchers<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The new update includes a couple of changes and new support for a launcher. The GryphLink launcher, which is used for the new Arknights Endfield, has been added to the script and can now be easily installed with ease. It should streamline getting the game up and running on the Deck even easier than before, which is quite nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of that, the new non-Steam game metadata that NonSteamLaunchers added has Metacritic information now. So, if a game has a Metacritic score attached to it, it will appear in the new Metadata that was added in the last update. The new metadata feature has also been added to the plugin version of NonSteamLaunchers, so you can see all the metadata in game mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can check out the full patch notes for V4.2.87\u00a0here<\/a>. If you already have NonSteamLaunchers installed, simply running it should update you to the latest version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
