General information about Game Launcher

Game Launcher has been released on Samsung devices. It is designed for easier access to all games on your device. Together with the Game Tool option, the application has many features:

battery saver – if you want to play longer, you can change the game settings to save power. Game Launcher has two different modes, in which the resolution of the game is lowered and the frame rate is kept at thirty. Thanks to this degradation of graphics, your battery will last for a long time;
catalog of games with detailed information – you can see what games you have installed, as well as data on them. In addition to the description, screenshots and videos will be available to you;
turning off notifications during the game – sometimes a call or an incoming message can ruin your gaming session. This is especially true of competitive games where you fight other players. To prevent this from happening, it is enough to turn off notifications using the Game Launcher. This will allow you to fully focus on the game;
phone key lock – Accidentally pressing the back or home key can take away your progress in the game. If you want to save your nerve cells, blocking them is a good idea;
minimizing the game – the ability to minimize the game is available without the program on any phone. But the game will only store progress until the RAM is cleared, which makes this option not very reliable. With Game Launcher, you can minimize the game into a small circle that will be visible on the screen. Well, after completing cases, just click on this mug to return to the game;
screenshot – the application allows you to save a screenshot by pressing a separate button;
video recording – the ability to record gameplay without using third-party software is very valuable in itself. The video is saved without loss of frame rate and in good quality.
