Website Disclaimer

This website is an independent informational resource dedicated to Playnite, the open-source video game library manager. We created this site because we genuinely appreciate what Playnite does for PC gamers and want to help more people discover it.

We are not the official Playnite website. The official project lives at playnite.link and on GitHub under Josef Nemec’s repository. Any information we provide about Playnite — including features, system requirements, version details, and installation guides — comes from publicly available sources like the official site, GitHub releases, and community forums.

Product names, logos, brands, and trademarks referenced on this site (including Steam, Epic Games, GOG, EA App, Battle.net, Ubisoft Connect, Xbox, and others) are the property of their respective owners. We use these names strictly for identification and informational purposes.

No Affiliation or Association

Playnite is independently operated and is NOT the official website for Playnite or any other software listed here.

We do not represent, speak for, or act on behalf of Josef Nemec or any Playnite contributor. We have no role in the development, maintenance, or distribution of the Playnite application.

All information about Playnite published on this site is gathered from publicly available sources, including the official Playnite website, GitHub repository, release notes, and community discussions on Reddit and other forums.

We do not modify, repackage, bundle, or alter any software files in any way. We simply provide information and direct users to the original download sources.

No Warranty

Everything on this website is provided “as is” with no warranty of any kind, whether express or implied. We do our best to keep information accurate, but we make no guarantees about completeness, reliability, or timeliness.

Software versions, features, and system requirements change as developers release updates. Playnite is actively developed, and details on our site may not always reflect the very latest changes. We recommend checking the official Playnite GitHub repository for the most current information.

We are not responsible for any errors, omissions, or outdated information that may appear on this site.
