Game Launcher – your gaming hub on Galaxy devices
Gaming has come a long way, from pixelated classics to virtual reality. And when it comes to mobile gaming, Samsung’s Galaxy phones offer some of the best gaming experiences for gamers. With features such as the Game Launcher that enables you to create a gaming hub right on your mobile device, you can conveniently manage all your favourite games, game-related bookmarks and even images – all in one location! That makes gaming on-the-go so much more convenient!
Game Launcher should be turned on your Galaxy devices by default, but in case you have turned it off and would like to activate it again, follow the steps below! Once you have it activated, all games that you download will be sent directly to your gaming hub – Game Launcher, and you can even access data such as your time spent gaming on the games, and all your game notifications!
How do I do that?
1. Open Settings and tap Advanced features
2. Tap on Game Launcher and tap on the toggle to activate
3. Your Game Launcher app may be found on your apps screen or in the Samsung folder.
Improve your gaming experience with Game Booster
Not to be confused with Game Launcher, the Game Booster feature (which works together with the Game Launcher) on your Galaxy devices is meant to optimise your gameplay without interrupting your game!
By monitoring how your game is operating on the device, Game Booster is able to use the data generated, such as the temperature and the game memory, to adjust your settings for the best gameplay! You can also adjust different settings on your Galaxy device, such as locking the navigation button to prevent accidental touches while gaming, blocking notifications or features to prevent unnecessary distractions, configure the pop-up panels and more!
And the best part is that you can make all the relevant changes to enhance your experience while you are playing your game. All you need to do is tap on the Game Booster icon (which will give you access to a handy menu) that is on the side of your gaming screen.
How do I do that?
1. While playing a game, swipe up (if game is in portrait mode) or swipe left (if game is in landscape mode)
2. Tap Game Booster icon
3. If it is your first time activating Game Booster, tap on Start
4. Game Booster will now be activated, and you can customise your gaming settings based on your preferences
Game Booster is designed to give you greater control of your gameplay so don’t miss out on this key feature and maximise it for a seamless mobile gaming experience!
Optimise game performance with the Game Performance Management feature
When running high-end games, try activating the game performance management function to experience a more optimised game performance.
How do I do that?

Setting through the Game Launcher app:
1. Open Game Launcher app

You can also review your play session statistics to analyse the best settings for specific games.
Make mobile gaming more social with Discord set up in Game Launcher
If you are a gamer, you might already have a Discord account. Discord allows users to communicate with friends while gaming - and you can now have it activated on your Samsung Galaxy mobile devices with the Game Launcher and Game Booster features.

Play games on-the-go without the need for downloading
Did you know that Game Launcher has an Instant Play section? In this menu, you can find a variety of game recommendations and play many of them without an installation process. You will also be able to access a menu where you can view data from your latest played games, and even the most popular categories and games.
How do I do that?
1. Open Game Launcher
2. Tap on Instant Play
3. Choose from the selection of games available
Do note that you may require an Internet network connection for gameplay via Instant Play.
Multitask while gaming
When gaming, many of us would prefer to have full focus on the game at hand, but there may be some who may have to multitask. For example, you may be gaming while referring to a YouTube video or a cheat sheet to get through that really challenging level, or on a video call with a fellow gamer.
Instead of toggling back and forth between apps and interrupting your gameplay, why not set multi-windows and do both at the same time? This is especially great for Galaxy Fold4 users, because, with its 7.6” QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X main screen, your gameplay is not compromised even while multi-tasking!
How do I do that?
1. Tap on Menu
2. Tap on the split screen icon
3. Swipe and tap the other app you would like to open
4. Adjust the screen sizes accordingly by dragging the line in between the windows
With this multi-screen feature, you no longer have to miss out on anything important because you can do it all on one screen!
