Games and apps from the Windows Store can’t normally be added to Steam, as the client cannot recognize them. Many of us prefer to keep our games in one place and take advantage of Steam’s social features, however, so a solution would be very helpful.

UWPHook is an open-source program that enables you to add apps and games from the Windows Store to Steam. It is quite intuitive, and it works without issues for the most part, allowing you to launch all your games directly from Steam.

The digital distribution platform created by Valve has become the preferred method of buying and launching games, so it is no surprise that gamers like to add all their titles to Steam. Using multiple clients for various games is cumbersome, especially when all your friends are on Steam.

UWPHook searches for all UWP apps and games that are installed on your system when it is launched. You can view details about each of them and select the ones that you wish to add. The process is very straightforward, and the program even sets the app or game’s icon in your library.

Sadly, you will not be able to use the overlay when launching any UWP app from Steam. It appears as though this is a client limitation, and it would have to be updated by Valve to work with UWP apps.

UWPHook allows you to take an additional step towards unifying your game libraries. It can add any game or app you have purchased from the Win Store to Steam, enabling you to launch them directly from the client. It is not perfect, but it is a very helpful tool nonetheless.

What's new in UWPHook 2.13.0:

  • Fix the persistent icons for games with encrypted icons that could not be copied
  • Fix some games missing from the app list
  • Properly handle apps that weren't being handled well in version 2.12
