Small project to link UWP games to Steam
If you want to add Windows Store Games to Steam to show up on your Status you need to do a bit of a warkaround because Steam can't see UWP apps, this program aims to simplify a little bit the process where it is possible by automating the scripting and launching.
If you want to add Windows Store Games to Steamyou need to do a bit of a warkaround because Steam can't see UWP apps, and there's a chance Steam won't show it on your "Currently playing" status. This app aims to simplify a little bit the process where it is possible by automating the scripting and launching of Windows Store apps and games.
# To add UWP games to Steam #
Download UWPHook, it's files and store them somewhere on your PC.
[Download the latest version of UWPHook](https://github.com/BrianLima/UWPHook/releases) and store it somewhere on your PC.

Create a shortcut to UWPHook on the same directory where you installed it, by right clicking it and choosing "Create Shortcut" and name it something simple that resembles the game you want to add to Steam.
Click "load installed UWP Apps", we will find every UWP app installed on your PC.

![](http://i.imgur.com/FnXYTQH.png)
Select every app you want to add to Steam, change the name by doubleclicking the "name" collumn, press "Export selected apps to Steam" and boom, every app you selected will be added to Steam.
Go to Steam and click "Add non-Steam Game to Steam
![](http://i.imgur.com/QyJIdnr.png)
Click Browse, find where you extracted UWPHook.exe and select it.
![](http://i.imgur.com/drbwhyK.png)
Click "Add Selected Programs"
Find UWPHook at your Library, right click it, change the name from UWPHook to the name of the game you want, change target to the name of the shortcut you created
![](http://imgur.com/QmsTPpA.png)
![](http://imgur.com/03aEp3Z.png)
Click "Set Launch Options" and write the alias of the game you want to play, you can find it in the column "Alias" on UWPHook
![](http://imgur.com/FtGqaiR.png)
Click Play and enjoy your UWP game showing up on your Steam Status, UWPHook will run on the background checking every 5 seconds if your game is running and close it self automatically if the game is not running.
Close UWPHook, restart Steam, click play on your UWP game, and Steam will show your current game on your status as long as you are playing it!
----------
# Adding or Removing Games from UWPHook #
If you want to play a game that is not included by default on UWPHook, then follow these steps:
Open UWPHook, type the alias of the game in the alias textbox
## Finding the game URL ##
Go to "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Packages"
Find the App you want to add, copy the whole folder name and add "!App" to the end on UWPHook, should look like this:
![](http://imgur.com/NMx9IAR.png)
![](http://imgur.com/2RlKi1X.png)
Repeat previous steps to add the game to Steam.
If you can't find the app, there's a easier way to determine its folder name:
Press "Windows+R" and type "shell:appsfolder", you will be taken to a folder containing every metro app and other things on your PC
![](http://imgur.com/W1kH0R4.png)
Find the game you want, right click it and create shortcut, Windows will place a shortcut on your desktop.
![](http://imgur.com/Z9p80Hy.png)
Right click the shortcut, on targettype will be the app's folder name, making it easier to find the game on Packages folder.

To remove a game form the list, double click the desired game
# Troubleshooting #
- **I added the game's url to UWPHook but it won't start whatsoever**
- Some games use another string at the end besides "!App" like Forza Motorsport 6: Apex for example, if you can't figure it out, someone at our subreddit might help you.
- **Steam's Overlay isn't working!**
- Unfortunately, it's a Steam limitation, Valve has to update it in order to work properly with UWP, DXTory is a recommended overlay for UWP games.
- **Steam Link launches the game but input doesn't work!**
- Unfortunately, another limitation by Steam, i have some ideas as to why it isn't working, but i can't give an ETA for when i can fix this, or even if it's fixable on my end, since Valve didn't released the Link in Brazil and i can't get one to test.
- **Steam Big Picture Mode isn't working!**
- Unfortunately, it's a Steam limitation and no overlays work yet with UWP games.
- **Steam Controller isn't working**
- Another limitation by Steam, some people reported it works with "Desktop Mode" configuration, but i can't verify this.
- **My question isn't listed here!**
- Drop by our subreddit and ask a question over there, maybe someone will help you, i surely will as soon as i can
