Managing your Library

Library in a nutshell

The Library is a list of all the games Wand automatically detects on your PC, supported or unsupported. Want to tweak what shows up? This article walks you through it!

Library features

  • Automatic detection: Wand finds the games installed on your PC for you, so there’s nothing to set up.

  • Supported and unsupported games: Your library shows every detected game, even ones Wand can’t be used with.

  • Customize your list: Add your most-played games as favorites and hide the ones you don’t want cluttering your sidebar.

  • Launch options: Start a game with or without mods right from the sidebar.

  • Quick access: Open any game’s page in one click from the sidebar.

Note: Games detected by Wand can be hidden from the sidebar but not removed from your library.

The Library

  • The Library page showcases which games you have installed that are detected by the Wand app.

  • Clicking on the star icon places the game you selected as favorite on the sidebar
    ​

  • You can also sort your Library alphabetically or by recently played!
    ​

  • Lastly, you can toggle between list view and thumbnail view on your Library page by clicking on this area.

The My Games Sidebar

  • The My Games Sidebar keeps your games one click away, so you can jump in without digging through menus.
    ​

  • Want less clutter? Use the sort and filter menu to reorder your games or hide unsupported ones.
    ​

  • Click the three dots beside any game to launch it with or without mods, favorite it, follow it for mod updates, or hide it from the My Games Sidebar!
    ​


Switching games through the My Games Sidebar

  • Want to play something else? Click the new game in the My Games Sidebar, then click Play, and confirm the switch in the pop-up. Wand runs one game at a time, so switching stops any active mods in your current game.

Note: A yellow dot on a game’s icon means you’re playing it. If you also see a Wand icon next to its name, you’re playing with mods.
