Game Launchers and Storefronts

As a writer in gaming, one of my goals is to educate new gamers by giving them fundamental information about exciting games, tools, and gaming platforms.

In this post, my goal is to introduce game launchers or storefronts to new gamers as I see them necessary tools for professional gaming.

A game launcher or storefront is the primary method of downloading and playing games on the PC platform. They make gamers’ lives easier.

Unlike game consoles, the only way to download games is through the inbuilt game store.

For example, on Playstation, we can only download games through the built-in Playstation store or use a disk. It is the same for Xbox and Nintendo consoles.

We have the Microsoft Store on PC, but not many triple games are included.

So the only way to play most games is to download a third-party launcher or storefront to purchase whichever games you want.
