THE ARCADE

The Arcade is a stand-alone and immersive game hub and game launcher, without sponsored content, where you build your own personal space for gaming. It offers a polished, simple, and customizable interface inspired by the menus on gaming consoles. Your games are automatically organized into clean libraries, letting you clear the clutter from your home screen and enjoy your installed games and emulated ROMs through the entire gaming flow.

All screenshots are captured on real devices using freely downloaded games from Google Play Store.

About game performance & "game boosters"
The Arcade does not alter game performance, frame rates (FPS), hardware behavior or network latency. Claims made by many game booster apps are technically impossible! Instead, The Arcade improves your gaming experience through its console launcher interface, focused game hub organization, and ad-free design.

Pre-installed game hubs & sponsored content
If you are used to Samsung Gaming Hub (Game Hub), Xiaomi Game Turbo, Game Space, or Game Mode, you'll feel right at home — but now with a game hub and game launcher without ads or sponsored content, available on all Android devices with Google Play Store!

Ratings and reviews

*edited 1/20/26: app developer got back to me right away to help solve the issue. there is a library & a way to make a collection of favorite games in premium. now I have all my games in 1 spot! awesome! ** nice app, but I like having a way to organize my game apps so I know they'll be in the same location each time I open the app, and this doesn't have that feature. I have about 20 game apps & having the icons constantly moving locations after I play them is annoying.

💋I paid for the full version and, I really love it. I have saucy pictures for each category that really make my hubby chuckle.🥰 It's really cute. 🥴Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines OST when I open the launcher. Love this, I wish gifs worked but it's still cute AF. Thanks, sweetheart. 🌛🐈‍⬛️🌜 🖤Be safe & Blessed Be!🖤 Edit: I got the heat monitoring app, only to find they want $2 more for it. It doesn't seem like much, but I don't want to pay for it after already getting this app.😿🖤

A superb game manager app. Makes it so easy to see my installed games and what I want to play. No annoying ads! Could not be happier with this app. Has tons of cool features like collections, sorting games, time played, and a bunch more I haven't yet explored. Absolutely fantastic
