5 years ago we set out make one game - Star Citizen - easier to control and even more immersive to play, with touch-screen controls for phone and tablet.
We quickly realized many other games would benefit from what we were creating - customization controls, with clear labels, that solved issues with complicated keybinds and hard to remember controls.
Our quest is to transform how everyone plays any PC games, with brand new gameplay experiences. Today we're taking a big step towards that goal as we release our brand new desktop app, 6 new Shards, over 100 new components, and announce our partnership with Overwolf.
And for the first time in 5 years, Lifetime access is available once more.
GameGlass Hub - our new desktop app
One our largest and most complex tasks over the past year has been a complete re-build of the technology that powers GameGlass. From the way you connect your devices to how you discover and collect Shards, everything has been re-designed, optimized, and enhanced.
The technology underpinning the new Hub app will also make it possible for us to achieve our big goal for this year - game-data integration and gaming peripheral connectivity.
New Shards
Sim games are our jam, but we wanted to create touch-screen controls for other genres to stretch our legs. We're thrilled to release new Shards for Baldur's Gate 3, FFXIV, Starfield, Farming Simulator, DCS, and No Man's Sky.
Each of these Shards has been carefully designed to provide immersive, satisfying new ways to control your games.
They are also intended to provide inspiration and starting points for the creation of your own perfect Shards - for whatever game you love to play, and however you love to play it.
100+ New Components
Immersion is one of the pillars of our approach to gaming. From our beginning we wanted to provide the gaming community with something more than just a grid of square buttons.
Switches, toggles, dials, sliders, and other rich, satisfying interactions are all part of our control screens.
Today we're adding over 100 new Components to the Forge - our no-code, drag & drop Shard creation tool. From science fiction, to vehicle dashboards, fantasy, military, and more, you'll find something that's perfect for how you want to play.
You can even add a range of stickers and decals as decorations.
Overwolf Partnership
One of our biggest goals this year is closer data integration with games. When Overwolf reached out to us about a partnership that would give us access to their technology that allows access to streams of this data we were excited to explore how we could work together.
Today we're making the GameGlass Hub available via the Overwolf app store, and have integrated their game data technology. Soon, this will allow us to debut game-connect Components that power a range of new and unique gameplay experiences.
