Steam Big Picture is excellent when Steam is the center of your setup. Ammonis is for the PC library that also includes XBOX, Epic, Ubisoft, GOG, and more.

## The short version

Steam Big Picture is the natural choice for a Steam-centered library. Ammonis is designed for PCs where Steam is only one part of the collection.

### One multi-store library

Browse installed games, manually added programs, and owned titles from Steam, XBOX, Epic, and GOG, including games that are not installed.

### Controller-first throughout

Navigate games, launch actions, settings, and system controls from your gamepad.

### Per-game settings

Keep each game's display, HDR, audio, RTSS frame limit, and Lossless Scaling choices together.

## Keep the parts of Steam you need

See Steam friends' game activity, open their profiles, and browse recently played and most-played games in Ammonis. Open Steam whenever you need its own store, downloads, or other controls.

## Different platforms, equally rich game details

Link a game from another platform or a manually added program to its Steam title to bring Steam overview information and news into its details page.

## When Ammonis adds the most value

Ammonis is most useful when your games span several stores and you want their launch settings in one place.

## Questions, answered.

### Can I use Ammonis alongside Steam Big Picture?

Yes. Ammonis runs alongside Steam, so you can switch between the two whenever you like.

### Does Ammonis support non-Steam games?

Yes. Ammonis detects installed games from Steam, Epic, XBOX, Ubisoft, GOG, and more.

### Does Ammonis replace Steam?

No. Steam still installs, updates, and runs your Steam games. Ammonis gives those games a shared home alongside the rest of your PC library.

### Can I add games and tools from outside these stores?

Yes. Add programs from the installed-program list or your own folders. The free version supports up to 20 manual additions; Premium removes that limit. Removed programs stay in a history list where you can restore them within your current limit or permanently delete their library records.
