How Bootable.gg Works

What is Bootable.gg?

Bootable.gg is a community-powered compatibility database for running Steam games on Android. Think of it like ProtonDB, but for Android — instead of tracking Linux compatibility, we track which Steam games run on Android via launchers like Winlator, GameNative, and GameHub, and exactly what settings you need to get them running well.

How it works

  1. 1Search any Steam game
  2. 2See community-submitted configs showing exactly what settings worked — launcher version, chipset, renderer, CPU cores, RAM, and compatibility rating
  3. 3Upvote configs that worked for you to help surface the best ones
  4. 4Submit your own config if you've found settings that work

Understanding Compatibility Ratings

🟣PlatinumRuns perfectly out of the box, no tweaks needed
🟡GoldRuns well with minor adjustments
SilverPlayable but with some issues
🟠BronzeRuns but with significant problems
🔴BorkedWon't run or is unplayable

What is a Config?

A config is a set of settings that a community member has tested and verified. It includes the launcher used (Winlator, GameNative, GameHub), the Android chipset, graphics renderer, CPU core allocation, RAM allocation, and any additional notes about tweaks required.

Supported Launchers

WinlatorThe most popular Windows-on-Android emulator, open source
GameNativeCommercial launcher with a focus on ease of use and optimised drivers
GameHubNewer entrant with strong Snapdragon 8 Elite support

How to Contribute

Sign up, search for a game you've tested on Android, and submit your config. The more detail the better — specific settings help others get up and running faster. If someone else's config worked for you, upvote it to help it surface for the next person.
