Xbox App for Gamepass.None. Not even GoG.
I'm so tired of having to use one launcher per major publisher.
Unless it's a game I really want to play, I just avoid games that are not on Steam.
I tried Playnite but didn't like the UI. There was something about it that made it feel janky and some odd button input choices.For my "console-PC" that's connected to the TV in the living room, Playnite is the obvious choice.
Battle.net: it's not heavy or intrusive, doesn't do weird shit with files (like Xbox) and generally just works

I'm being completely serious right now.
Xbox have some work to do on their app for sure, but it's easy to use it with only a controller on a "console" PC these days. Just open the game bar and open the app from there, and its easily controlled with a game pad.I tried Playnite but didn't like the UI.

But that was awhile ago, might've been improved or maybe you can tweak things.
I returned to Steam and manually add games there and use big picture mode instead. I boot it into that. 5 seconds of Windows desktop is all I see when powering up the PC. Works great tbh!
Microsoft needs to up their game in that space. I have no issues using Xbox App on the desktop PC but it's no option in the living room.
Why aren't they using the 360 blades dash or something for a living room setup? Would be awesome.
Don't threaten me with a good timeI really wish they would dump their terrible Xbox app and just use BNet. I would probably resub to gamepass.
Heroic Launcher for sure. It not only replaces the 3 launchers and their storefronts that get free games - but it also adds them automatically to Steam, so you only need to use it to install or update the games. And it has a nice easy to use interface.
