FAQ

Everything you need to know before launch

No setup surprises, no hidden trial, and no need to move or rebuy the games you already own.

What is warmUP?
warmUP exists to make PC gaming feel like play, not system administration. It is a free, controller-first launcher that brings Steam, Epic, GOG, Xbox Game Pass, EA, local games, and emulators into one console-like experience built for your TV.
Is warmUP free to use?
Yes. The complete warmUP launcher is free with no trial clock or required subscription. It includes library unification, Discord integration, gamepad support, emulator integration, and every core feature. A small number of clearly labeled ads keep it free; optional plans are only for players who want an ad-free experience or additional tools.
Do I need to move or buy my games again?
No. Your games, purchases, and store accounts stay where they are. warmUP brings them into one library and launches them through the platforms you already use, so you can choose a game without first choosing a launcher.
Which game stores does warmUP work with?
warmUP supports Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG Galaxy, Xbox Game Pass, EA App, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Amazon Games, and local game folders. It also integrates with popular emulators for retro gaming.
When will warmUP be available to download?
warmUP launches on Tuesday, 28 July 2026 at 21:00 CEST. Get warmUP at launch and the free download link will arrive by email the moment we go live.
Do I need a controller to use warmUP?
No. warmUP works with both controllers and mouse/keyboard. However, it is designed with a controller-first approach, making it ideal for couch gaming on a TV.
How is warmUP different from PlayNite?
PlayNite is a powerful open-source library manager, but it requires plugin setup and configuration. warmUP works out of the box with no setup needed and is designed specifically for couch and TV gaming with a controller-first interface.
How is warmUP different from Steam Big Picture mode?
Steam Big Picture only shows your Steam games. warmUP unifies games from Steam, Epic, GOG, Xbox, and other stores into one library. You get the console experience without being locked to a single store.
Does warmUP work on handheld PCs like the ROG Ally or Legion Go?
Yes. warmUP works on any Windows PC, including handheld devices like the ASUS ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion Go, and Steam Deck in Windows mode. The controller-first design makes it a natural fit for handheld gaming.
Will warmUP work on my TV?
Yes. warmUP is built for TV and living room gaming. It runs on your Windows PC connected to a TV via HDMI, with an interface optimized for large screens, controller navigation, and automatic HDR detection.
What makes warmUP a console-like experience?
warmUP gets the desktop, launcher switching, and setup ritual out of the way. A TV-optimized interface, full controller navigation, one library, and automatic display tools create one continuous experience: sit down, pick a game, and play.

Your games are ready. Leave the desktop behind.
