Playtrove 0.8.0

October 22, 2026

Download

Playtrove-Setup-0.8.0.exe: the installer. If Playtrove is already installed, choose Update in the update notification: the previous version is removed and the new one opens by itself, with your library.
Playtrove-0.8.0-portable.zip: unzip it into a new folder and open Playtrove.exe. To keep your library from a previous portable copy, close the app and move its data folder next to the new Playtrove.exe.

Playtrove is not digitally signed yet, so Windows may show a protection notice when you first open it.

Rebuilt with Tauri and Rust: everything behind the screens (library, emulators, playtime, metadata, achievements, PS3 trophies and the DualSense battery) was rewritten in Rust, and the app now uses the WebView2 that comes with Windows instead of shipping its own browser. The interface is the same.
Much smaller downloads: the installer went from about 100 MB to about 5 MB, and the portable version from about 140 MB to about 7 MB.
Signed updates: the app only installs updates signed with the project's key.
New installer: it now has a few screens, where you can choose the install folder. It still installs just for you, without asking for admin rights.

On screens smaller than 1280×800, the window no longer goes past the screen when it leaves the maximized state.

Your library, settings and saved API keys are preserved.
Playtrove needs Microsoft Edge WebView2, which comes with Windows 10 and 11. If it's missing, the installer adds it.
