What you need before you download games on GameHub

You need an Android 10 or newer device, the GameHub app, a store account with games you own, and a lot of free storage. A recent Snapdragon chip gives the best results.

• The app: The latest GameHub APK (version 6.3.1) or the Google Play version. Both need Android 10 or newer.
• Chip: Reviewers rate the Snapdragon 8 Elite as the best choice, with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and 8 Gen 3 also good. MediaTek Dimensity 9000–9400 chips with Mali GPUs got better support in July 2025. Low-end phones usually run only light or older games.
• RAM: 8–12 GB is the usual recommendation.
• Storage: Plan for 30–100 GB per AAA game, plus space for the app itself (the APK file is about 95 MB).
• Games: A Steam, Epic Games, GOG or EA account with games you bought or claimed for free.
• Controller (optional): Bluetooth or USB controllers make most games easier.

How to install GameHub and create an account

Install GameHub from Google Play or from the official GameHub website, open it, and sign in with a GameHub account. The Play Store version is the easiest to install, but the website version supports more types of games.

1. Choose where to get the app. On Google Play, the app is published by "Guangzhou Chicken Run Network Technology Co., Ltd." with the package name com.xiaoji.egggame. The listing is not available in every country. You can also get the APK file from the official GameHub website. Our GameHub download page lists both official sources.
2. Install the app. On Google Play, tap Install. For the APK file, allow "install unknown apps" for your browser or file manager when Android asks, then open the file and tap Install.
3. Open GameHub and review permissions. Allow only what you need. If you care about privacy, read our guide on whether GameHub is safe first.
4. Create or log in to your GameHub account. Follow the sign-up steps on screen. The official app asks you to sign in before you can use your game library.
5. Let the app finish its first setup. On first launch, GameHub may load extra components such as drivers. Stay on Wi-Fi and keep the app open until it is done.

How to log in to Steam on GameHub

To log in to Steam on GameHub, open your Profile, choose to link an account, and sign in to Steam with a QR code or your Steam username and password. Your Steam library then shows up inside GameHub.

1. Open your Profile. Tap the Profile section in GameHub.
2. Choose to link a Steam account. Select Steam from the stores you can link.
3. Sign in. Scan the QR code with the Steam mobile app, or type your Steam username and password. If Steam asks you to approve the login, confirm it in the Steam app or enter the code it sends you.
4. Wait for your library to sync. Your owned games appear in the library. Since version 6.2.0, the library is grouped by platform and store, so your Steam games sit together.

Linking Epic Games, GOG and EA accounts works in a similar way in the website version. EA support was added in version 6.0.6.

The Steam link is more than a download button. Version 6.0.6 added Steam friends, achievements, chat, invites, the Steam overlay, Workshop and DLC management, and joining lobbies.

How to download a game on GameHub

To download a game on GameHub, open your library, tap the game, check its compatibility rating, choose an install location and start the download. Large games take a long time, so use fast Wi-Fi and keep your phone charging.

1. Find the game. Open your library or use search. Since version 6.3.1, the AI search understands nicknames and typos, so short names and small spelling mistakes still work.
2. Check the compatibility rating. GameHub shows a rating that tells you how well the game is expected to run. This system was revamped in version 6.0.6. You can also check our GameHub compatibility list for community reports.
3. Choose the install location. Since 6.0.6, you can pick a custom install location. Choose the storage with the most free space.
4. Start the download. Tap download and keep GameHub open. Use Wi-Fi rather than mobile data, because AAA games can be 30–100 GB.
5. Wait for the install to finish. After the download is complete, GameHub installs the game and you can launch it from your library.

How to play Steam games on GameHub after downloading

To play a Steam game on GameHub, tap the game in your library and launch it. GameHub applies a default setup, and you can then change resolution, FPS limit, upscaling and controls in the game's settings page.

Behind the scenes, GameHub uses Wine (a Windows compatibility layer), a modified Box64 (x86/x64 to ARM), DXVK and VKD3D (DirectX to Vulkan) and bundled GPU drivers such as Turnip for Adreno. That is why a game's first start can feel slow.

First-launch settings to check

• Resolution: Start at 720p. DROIX used 720p for its Snapdragon 8 Elite benchmarks.
• FSR 3 and frame generation: AMD FSR 3 upscaling and frame generation can raise FPS in heavy games.
• FPS limit: A cap keeps the phone cooler and the frame rate steadier.
• Performance HUD: Turn it on to see your FPS while you play.

Version 6.3.1 also added launch guidance to help you through a game's first start. For full tuning by chip, see our GameHub best settings guide.

Controls

GameHub supports virtual on-screen controls, a touchscreen mouse, Bluetooth and USB controllers, and keyboard and mouse. Version 6.0.6 added gamepad-to-keyboard and gamepad-to-mouse mapping plus a new virtual button layout editor. Version 6.2.0 added key and mouse mapping with cloud sharing, so layouts can be shared between players.

How to import games to GameHub

You can import local games only in the GameHub version from the official website. The Google Play version supports Steam games only, so it does not offer non-Steam imports.

Local games are Windows games you own outside the linked stores, for example a DRM-free installer you bought. To import one:

1. Use the website version. Install GameHub from the official site, not from Google Play.
2. Copy the game to your device. Move the game folder to your phone storage with a USB cable or a file manager.
3. Use the import option in GameHub. Follow the prompts to select the game on your storage. Button names can change between versions.
4. Launch and adjust settings. Tune it like a Steam game.

Version 6.0.6 also added a way to import external Steam games, which helps if you already have Steam game files and do not want to download them again. Since 6.2.0, mods are supported for Steam titles and for locally imported games.

The community-made GameHub Lite APK adds external launcher support, but it is not made by GameSir, so use it at your own risk.

Where to download games for GameHub

The safe place to get games for GameHub is a real PC game store: Steam, Epic Games, GOG or EA. Buy or claim a game on the store, and it appears in GameHub after you link your account.

Free-to-play games and store giveaways also appear once you claim them. But online games with anti-cheat, such as competitive shooters, generally do not work under translation.

Storage tips and cloud saves

Keep plenty of free space, install big games to a custom location, and let Steam cloud saves protect your progress. A full phone is one of the most common reasons a big download fails.

• Check space first: AAA games need about 30–100 GB each, plus room for updates.
• Use custom install locations: Available since 6.0.6. Put large games on the storage with the most free space.
• Remove finished games: With cloud saves, you can download them again later.

How cloud saves work

GameHub supports Steam cloud saves. When a game uses Steam Cloud, your progress syncs with your Steam account, so you can continue on another device. Version 6.2.0 fixed issues with cloud-save sync. GameHub for Mac (public beta since 11 April 2026) also syncs cloud saves, so you can switch between Android and an Apple Silicon Mac. Before you uninstall a game, let the sync finish on a working connection.

Bottom line

Downloading games on GameHub is simple once you know the order: install the app, sign in, link Steam (or Epic, GOG and EA on the website version), check the compatibility rating, pick an install location and download. Use only games you own, keep 30–100 GB free for big titles and rely on cloud saves for your progress.
