Users can browse those stores in the app, queue downloads with pause and resume, view game details such as install size and time played, and manage Wine and Proton compatibility tools.

On Linux and macOS it can install the Windows version of a native game; on Linux that option is for GOG games only. It also provides a controller-friendly console mode, custom themes, and community translations in 40+ languages.
