How to add non-Steam games to your Steam library
(Pocket-lint) — These days, with every other company having its own launcher, you can quickly find that your PC game library is spread out across multiple applications.
Wouldn't it be nice if all of those games were accessible from one centralised library, allowing you to jump right into your desired game with minimal fuss?
If you're a PC gamer, you most likely already have Steam installed. So let's add those non-Steam titles into your library for easy access.
One thing that's important to note, before we get stuck in, is that adding games to your Steam library only creates a shortcut to the game. So you won't be able to download updates through Steam, but it sure does beat searching through multiple launchers to find your game.
Adding non-Steam titles to your library is a lot easier than you might think. Although it can be a little time-consuming for those with very large collections. Here's how it works.
Once that's done, your other games will appear in your library right next to your Steam games.
When it comes to applications and games downloaded from the Microsoft Store or Xbox Game Pass titles, things get a little more complicated — but don't worry, we've got you covered there too.
Should you run into any issues, a good place to start is the UWPHook subreddit. Otherwise, you're well on your way to single-library nirvana.
