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, Game Enhancer, 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 phone, tablet and Android TV devices with Google Play Store!

Game on!

Ratings and reviews

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Instant buy, even though I was happy with the free features. Great job devs! My only request would be to keep it simple. Any attempts at further monetization should be 2nd to the primary goal of organizing and launching the games you already have, not trying to sell you on new ones.

*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.

it suddenly stops detecting games completely so all lists get empty, even main full one. i dont want to clean data as will lose my lists. let we export/import them at least? oh ok, to add many is from the list "+" icon. OLD: could you restore the old vibrating background image? it was so cool and felt so Arcade! could vibrate the image of the last game played :)
