    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The developer of NonSteamLaunchers got in touch to mention that a Steam Deck (Decky Loader) plugin is now available for testing, plus the latest release pulling in a handy tool for being able to Remote Play Together anything.

    For the v3.8.8 release that went out a few days ago they’ve hooked up RemotePlayWhatever, a tool I hadn’t heard of until now.

    It’s a “Tiny application that lets you force remote play together any game you have in your steam library including non-steam ones” which sounds really useful for playing games from other stores on Steam Deck and for emulation too.

    On top of that the developer mentioned they have a Decky Loader plugin in development, which is now available for testing.

    This means you won’t have to go into Desktop Mode to install or remove the extra stores like Epic Games, GOG and so on, as long as you have Decky Loader set up and ready.

    They sent along this video demo of it in action:

      Heroic is great, but this does have a useful place. In addition to epic and gog, this also supports:

      • Amazon Games Launcher ✔️
      • Battle.net ✔️
      • EA App ✔️
      • Epic Games ✔️
      • GOG Galaxy ✔️
      • Humble Games Collection ✔️
      • IndieGala ✔️
      • Itch.io ✔️
      • Legacy Games ✔️
      • Rockstar Games Launcher ✔️
      • Ubisoft Connect ✔️
      • Glyph ✔️
      • Playstation Plus ✔️
      • VK Play ✔️

      And it makes it easy to make native looking web apps for the following:

      • Website Shortcut Creator ✔️
      • Xbox Game Pass ✔️
      • GeForce Now ✔️
      • Amazon Luna ✔️
      • Netflix ✔️
      • Amazon Prime Video ✔️
      • Disney+ ✔️
      • Hulu ✔️
      • Youtube ✔️
      • Twitch ✔️
      • movie-web ✔️

      Finally it imports games installed through the different app stores to make them appear like native apps.

      The remote play together integration is great too, because that will easily let you play local multiplayer games online regardless of what store they come from. That alone might make it worth using over heroic for party-style games from epic.
