New Windows & Android Releases: Community-Driven Updates Are Here

LaunchBox 13.25/26 & Android 1.21

A big thank you wrapped in features

🖥️ LaunchBox for Windows (13.25 & 13.26): Faster editing flow, a fully customizable sidebar, platform documents, smarter progress automation, and thoughtful polish that makes your library feel calmer and smarter to use

📱 LaunchBox for Android (1.21): Game Progress Tracking, Home Screen Launcher Mode, easier platform syncing, better NAS management, expanded emulator support, and speed improvements you will feel right away

We wanted to send something that feels less like a product announcement and more like a thank you note.

These updates for LaunchBox for Windows and LaunchBox for Android are packed with improvements shaped directly by the community. Not just feature requests, but real conversations, real workflows, and real day-to-day use. We build LaunchBox because we use it, and we care deeply about making it better for everyone who loves organizing, playing, and preserving games as much as we do.

Grab a drink and let us walk you through what's new.

LaunchBox for Windows 13.25/26 🖥️

This update is all about flow. Editing games is faster and smoother thanks to Next and Previous navigation directly inside the Edit Game window, and it always follows your current filters and sorting. The sidebar is now fully customizable so it can match how you actually browse instead of forcing you into a layout that never quite felt right. Platform Documents give every system its own home for your own documents, like manuals and guides, turning your collection into something that feels curated and personal rather than just stored.

For those who love fine-tuning, there's plenty more to enjoy. Bulk editing star ratings makes rating large libraries painless, while 3D model rotation locks give you just the right amount of control when viewing box art. Updating emulators is now a single-click affair, deleting games can optionally clean up associated media instantly, and progress automation finally respects custom progress values like Want to Play. Small touches on paper, but together they add up to a library that feels calmer, smarter, and more satisfying to use.

LaunchBox for Android 1.21 📱

Android 1.21 is a big step forward in how your library lives on your device. Game Progress Tracking brings powerful organization tools that let you track, customize, and automate progress in a way that matches how you actually play. Home Screen Launcher Mode turns LaunchBox into a full console-style home experience, perfect for handhelds, TVs, or dedicated gaming setups. Platform Update Games makes it easy to keep your game library up-to-date with a single tap, cutting down on the need for manual imports.

Behind those headliners are a lot of thoughtful improvements that quietly make everything better. NAS management is now simpler and more resilient for network-based libraries, emulator support continues to grow with a big batch of new additions, and performance improvements dramatically reduce startup time for large collections. The app feels faster, smoother, and more reliable, which is exactly how it should feel when you just want to pick a game and play.

As always, we just want to say thank you. Thank you for the ideas, the feedback, the bug reports, the late night feature debates, and the passion that keeps LaunchBox moving forward. We are not building this for a community. We are building it with one.

We hope these updates make your setup feel a little more joyful. Enjoy!
