THE ARCADE
The Arcade is an independent game hub and game launcher, free from ads and sponsored content, where you build your own personal space for gaming.
It offers a polished and customizable interface inspired by the menus on gaming consoles. Your games are automatically organized into clean collections, letting you replace home screen clutter with an immersive gaming experience for both installed games and emulated ROMs.
All screenshots were captured on real devices using freely available Google Play Store games. No games are included in this app.
KEY FEATURES
Automatic game detection and organization
All your games neatly organized into a dedicated game hub.
Immersive, console-style user interface
Lightweight, clean, fast, and smooth console launcher with game controller support.
No ads, no bloat, no junk
Designed for great gaming — not ads or sponsored content.
Video game collections and app folders
Create custom and expressive collections to organize, play, and showcase your games.
Playtime insights
Discover your most played games and track how much time you spend in each one.
Personalize your gaming hub
Customize icon grids, cover art, backgrounds, labels, themes, sorting, and music.
Landscape & portrait modes
The game launcher works seamlessly in both landscape and portrait modes.
Add any installed app to your gaming hub
Add mobile games, social apps, emulator games, cloud gaming apps — from Play Store or side-loaded.
Emulator frontend & ROM launcher
Add emulator game ROMs directly to your game collections using compatible console emulators.
Real-time performance monitoring
Monitor device temperature, thermal throttling, CPU, RAM and battery usage throughout your gaming sessions.
Built for privacy and battery-friendly use
Uses minimal system resources, requires no internet connection, and respects your privacy.
Emulated games and supported console emulators
You can add video game ROMs into a mix of installed and emulated games in your library with compatible emulator apps (needs to be installed separately).
The Arcade currently supports the following platforms/emulators:
• PlayStation PSP (PPSSPP)
• Nintendo Switch (Eden)
• Game Boy Color & Advance (GBA.emu & GBC.emu)
• Super Nintendo SNES (Snes9X EX+)
• Nintendo NES (NES.emu)
Hiding games in your default home app
After installing a dedicated game launcher, you may wish to hide games from your home screen app drawer. Unfortunately, there is no official way to achieve that from this app, as we can't influence your home app (e.g. Samsung controls both their home app and gaming hub, making this possible).
About game performance & "game boosters"
The Arcade does not alter video game performance, frame rates (FPS), hardware behavior or network latency. Claims made by many game booster apps are technically impossible! Instead, The Arcade improves your gaming experience through its console launcher interface, focused game hub organization, and ad-free design.
Pre-installed game hubs & sponsored content
If you are used to Samsung Gaming Hub (Game Hub), Xiaomi Game Turbo, Game Space, Game Enhancer, or Game Mode, you'll feel right at home — but with an independent game hub that's free from ads, sponsored games, and promotional content, available on all Android phones, tablets, and Android TV devices with Google Play Store.
Game on! 🎮✌
