How To Put Steam Games On Launchbox?

Did you ever want to play your favorite Steam games on your iPhone or iPad? You can download a lot of apps from the App Store which claim to help you. But these apps are either not safe or they claim to work, but they don't really work. So today I' m going to show you how you can put Steam games on Launchbox.

Whether they are from Steam, emulators, or any other sources, putting all your games into a single library is a great idea, wouldn’t you say?

That is how Launchbox works. It compiles all games that you set into one interface. Launchbox will display not only the cover art for the games but also the details as well.

This kind of system works well if you are the type to hoard hundreds of games. When you own a bunch of games, there is a tendency to misplace some of them on your computer and forget all about those games.

With Launchbox, you don’t have to search for your games’ launchers, you open Launchbox, and you will see the list of available games you have, and you can play them from there.
