Downloads

Settings › Downloads installs, updates and uninstalls store games, one store at a time. The sidebar entry counts the updates waiting.

Its cards, the first three only when they have something in them:

1. Store, when two stores or more are on, picks another.
2. Installing holds the install or update running, and the paused ones.
3. Updates has Update everything, which updates the store’s games one after another.
4. On this PC lists the store’s games installed here, with their size.
5. Not installed lists the games you own that aren’t installed.

A game’s row reads In your library, Not in your library, Update available, Owned, Installing… or Paused. A (Options) opens its menu:

• Cancel install, which keeps the files and pauses it;
• Install, or Resume a paused one;
• Update, when one is waiting;
• Add to library and Delete files…, for an install no library game uses;
• Play, Details, Game settings, Uninstall… and Remove from library…, for a game in your library.

The actions that touch the disk ask first. X (Refresh) asks the store for its listing again.

GOG explains installing, and Disk space how Uninstall and Remove differ.

The Switch 2 and PS5 looks install from other pages: see Looks.
