Steam Launcher
Your Steam games with their art, playtime and one-tap launch.
A built-in Spacedash widget for your Windows 11 or 10 desktop, at any size next to your other widgets. It works on the XENEON EDGE too. It's part of Premium, a one-time $19.99 upgrade.

Questions
Is the Spacedash Steam Launcher widget free?
No, Steam Launcher is a Premium widget. Spacedash itself is free; Premium is an optional one-time upgrade of $19.99, with no subscription, that adds Steam Launcher and the other Premium widgets.
Do I need a XENEON EDGE to use the Steam Launcher widget?
No. Spacedash runs on any monitor on Windows 10 or 11, and on the CORSAIR XENEON EDGE in Desktop Mode or, inside iCUE, in Widget Mode.
What can I change on the Steam Launcher widget?
58 options, such as view, rows, line the games up and space between games. They're grouped as design, spotlight, play button, effects, the game you are playing, games, show, behaviour and colours. Every widget also takes your own font, text size and look.
Can I move or hide parts of the Steam Launcher widget?
Yes. Its parts (spotlight title, details, play button, names, badges, steam buttons and messages) can each be resized, restyled or hidden under Customize → Layout.
