    Launch Your Game with PatchKit Launcher - Custom, Multi-Platform & Powerful

    Seamless Game Launch, Updates, and Customization for All Developers

    Launch Your Game with Power and Flexibility: PatchKit Launcher

    Effortlessly customize, distribute, and update your game across platforms with our feature-rich, developer-focused launcher.

    Why PatchKit Launcher? The Benefits of Going Custom

    A custom game launcher can revolutionize how players experience your game while giving you full control over distribution and player interaction. Here are some of the key benefits:

    Brand Identity & Community Engagement

    Craft a branded experience that keeps your players engaged from the first launch. Create a cohesive environment to share news, updates, and community content, building stronger relationships with your players.

    Monetization Opportunities

    Integrate a storefront right into your launcher. Sell in-game items, expansion packs, and more with embedded payment solutions like PayPal and Stripe—all without redirecting players elsewhere.

    Secure User Authentication

    Use popular authentication methods like OAuth2 or Web3, or implement your own custom login system. This provides seamless onboarding for players while keeping their data secure.

    Streamlined Updates

    Say goodbye to lengthy updates. Use differential patching to deliver only what’s needed, reducing download times and ensuring that your players are always running the latest version.

    Data & Player Insights

    Track player behavior and interaction with built-in analytics, providing insights that help you optimize gameplay, promotions, and engagement.

    Extended Functionalities & Ecosystem Management

    Turn your launcher into a multi-game hub, similar to platforms like Steam. Manage multiple titles from one launcher and cross-promote easily within your own ecosystem.

    Enhanced Player Experience

    Deliver a smooth, seamless gaming experience. From easy sign-ins to instant updates and community news, a custom launcher is designed to put the player’s experience first.

    Comprehensive Features for a Seamless Experience

    Extensive Branding and Customization

    Gain deep control over your launcher's appearance with powerful customization tools. Use visual editors, asset customization, and brand identity tools to create an experience players will associate with your game.

    Cross-Platform Compatibility

    Deliver your game on Windows, macOS, and Linux with ease. PatchKit ensures broad platform support so all players can enjoy your game seamlessly, regardless of their device.

    Advanced HTML5 Integration

    Render rich HTML5 content directly in the launcher. Leverage the power of the Chromium engine for interactive content, embedded videos, or immersive community pages.

    Integrated and Secure Payment Solutions

    Implement PayPal, Stripe, and other secure payment options directly within the launcher, with a focus on easy integration for developers.

    Community and Platform Integrations

    Integrate with Steam, Epic Games Store, and other major platforms. Expand your visibility and give players a connected, consistent experience.

    Dynamic Multi-Game Storefront

    Expand your ecosystem with a multi-game storefront. Manage different games under a single launcher, providing a central hub for players.

    Differential Updates and Performance Optimization

    Use advanced differential patching to update only what’s necessary, reducing download times for players while saving server bandwidth.

    Localization and Global Reach

    Localize your launcher interface to accommodate a global audience. Provide content in multiple languages and ensure a consistent experience for international players.

    Customize the Launcher Using Our SDK

    With the PatchKit SDK, you have the ability to customize every element and the behavior of the launcher. Built on top of the Electron framework, our SDK allows you to work with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to modify and enhance the launcher's features to fit your exact needs. Whether it's changing the layout, adding new functionalities, or completely redesigning the user interface—everything is within your control.

    Launcher Visual Editor for Simplified Customization

    If you need a customized launcher but don't have the development skills or simply prefer an easier approach, the launcher visual editor is the ideal solution. The visual editor allows you to make modifications without writing code, making it accessible for everyone who needs to make simple changes to the launcher's appearance and layout.
