There's never been an easier way to design and develop your own professional custom game launcher for any Unity developed game or application than Game Launcher Creator.
Game Launcher Creator is currently on a Special Offer for Indies, Game Developers and Studios.
Game Launcher Creator enables both beginners and experienced developers to construct professional game launchers using native data engines and logical flow control.
Define an action or a sequence of actions to execute instantly when a user interacts with a button, rendering custom logic natively.
Access background trigger points around your launcher system, such as startup or shutdown, to create a truly interactive state machine.
Stack commands, manipulate UI objects mid-sequence, read external APIs, and halt execution flows conditionally based on live checks.
Utilize pre-defined system variables or initialize your own custom variables in memory to route data seamlessly throughout your launcher.
Take a look at how easily you can construct your launcher without writing a single line of code.
Visually place buttons, images, and videos exactly where you want them.
Link complex logic and execute commands instantly on events everywhere.
Customise every single object with advanced and custom styling.
Create, Edit and Manipulate variables at runtime to manage data.
Import your own assets or use our extensive built-in library for free.
The ultimate power couple. Inject the LaunchBoost plugin directly into your Game Launcher Creator project to deploy professional, high-speed game patching seamlessly.
LaunchBoost runs invisibly in the background. It streams real-time delta-patching data directly to your launcher's variables via a local TCP socket. Just bind %patch_progress% to your UI elements for a flawless, native update experience.
Go beyond basic buttons. The Native Event Action System gives you the power to build complex, conditional sequences specifically tailored to your Unity deployment without writing a single line of code.
Stack an infinite number of actions to run sequentially. Check your studio's API, read local configs, and launch your Unity binary in one continuous flow.
Compare runtime variables instantly. Halt the launch sequence if essential game files are missing or if your server is flagged as offline.
Read and write JSON, XML, or INI files directly to the user's disk to manage Unity player preferences and save data natively.

Static launchers are a thing of the past. Inject real-time data into your Unity launcher using our powerful Variable Engine. Read local system stats, parse remote APIs, and bind data seamlessly across your entire project.
Map any variable directly to your UI. Tell a text label to display %player_name% or bind a progress bar to %download_percent% for real-time updates without writing loops.
Never hardcode a path again. Use system variables like %appdata% or custom variables in your Event Actions to target dynamic installation directories or remote API endpoints.
Access dozens of pre-built system variables (CPU, RAM, OS Version) or initialize your own custom variables in memory to pass data between pages and sequences.
%sys_os%%install_dir%%patch_progress%%server_status%Explore the comprehensive library of drag-and-drop elements. Click any object in the toolbox below to inspect its capabilities.
Highly customizable static text elements with full font, color, and alignment control.
Expand your Unity launcher's capabilities with native integrations, advanced monetization tools, and direct server connections.
High-speed, embedded game updates.
The ultimate power couple. Inject the LaunchBoost plugin directly into your project to create fully custom, embedded update experiences without writing a single line of code. Note: While the plugin is free, a LaunchBoost subscription is required.
The ultimate membership ecosystem.
Transform your launcher into a fully-fledged membership portal. Host the secure web-script on your own domain and control exactly who has access to your game, updates, and community features.
Keep your community engaged.
Broadcast your game to the world. The Discord Rich Presence plugin links your launcher to the Discord client, showing friends exactly what your players are up to inside your server or game.
Seamlessly interface with the Steamworks API.
Configure the connection to your Steam game server. The App ID is required for the launcher to identify the game client, allowing you to build launchers for custom GMod, ARK, or dedicated Steam deployments.
Direct connectivity for Java & Bedrock Servers.
Designed specifically for modpack creators and server networks. The Minecraft plugin allows your launcher to communicate directly with your game server before the user even hits play.
The ultimate tool for GTA V roleplay communities.
Bypass the chaotic public server browser. Give your community a dedicated FiveM Launcher that streams your latest server rules, Discord updates, and connects them directly into your city.

-window-mode exclusive, -screen-fullscreen, or your own custom arguments directly from the launcher into your game's compiled executable upon launch. Unity is a world-leading, cross-platform game engine that has democratized game development for millions of creators worldwide. From solo indie developers to massive AAA studios, it provides an incredibly versatile ecosystem for building interactive 3D, 2D, VR, and AR experiences. Its powerful architecture allows developers to build once and deploy across dozens of platforms, including PC, consoles, mobile devices, and the web, making it an indispensable tool in modern game development.
At the core of the engine is a highly flexible component-based design, powered by the C# scripting language. This allows developers to craft complex game logic, AI systems, and intricate mechanics with precision and performance. Whether you are utilizing the standard Mono backend for rapid iteration or compiling down to native C++ using IL2CPP for maximum performance and security, the engine adapts to the specific needs of your project.
Visually, Unity is capable of stunning graphical fidelity. Through its Scriptable Render Pipeline (SRP), developers can utilize the Universal Render Pipeline (URP) for highly optimized, stylized graphics across all devices, or the High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) for pushing the boundaries of photorealism on high-end PCs and consoles. Advanced features like real-time ray tracing, volumetric lighting, and compute shaders allow technical artists to bring their most ambitious visions to life.
Beyond graphics and code, the ecosystem is bolstered by an unparalleled Asset Store and a massive suite of built-in tools. From the integrated physics engines (PhysX and Box2D) and the versatile Animator controller, to the timeline sequencing and Cinemachine camera systems, developers have everything they need to craft cinematic sequences and robust gameplay loops right out of the box.
However, completing your game is only half the battle. When it comes time to distribute your masterpiece to the public or your dedicated community, relying on standard desktop shortcuts or basic zip files simply isn't enough. Providing a seamless, branded onboarding experience is crucial for player retention, delivering patch notes, and managing game updates.
This is where designing a Custom Unity Launcher becomes essential. A dedicated launcher acts as the ultimate gateway to your game, allowing you to showcase live news feeds, patch notes, server statuses, and social links before the player even hits the play button. It ensures that your players are always running the latest version of your game by silently handling background updates and delta-patching.
Historically, building a Custom Game Launcher Unity developers could rely on meant wasting valuable development sprints wrestling with WPF, WinForms, or Electron, pulling resources away from the game itself. Now, with Game Launcher Creator Developer Edition, studios can visually design, logic-route, and deploy a native, lightning-fast launcher in a matter of hours, complete with dynamic variables, Discord integrations, and LaunchBoost patching capabilities.
