Branded launcher for Unity
Present your Unity title through a launcher that uses your own artwork, content and release messaging.
Unity game launcher
Create a custom launcher and release workflow for your Unity game.
Publish exported Unity builds through LauncherForge, deliver versions through your branded launcher and keep the runtime player session separate from the launcher login UI.
- ✓Exported Unity build delivery
- ✓Runtime session integration
- ✓Engine-independent updates
Unity
LauncherForge
Separate game builds, launcher UX and runtime identity cleanly.
LauncherForge treats the Unity executable and data as a packaged release, while the launcher manages player-facing installation, updates and sign-in. Runtime code reads the validated session through the integration layer.

Versioned Unity builds
Publish exported builds as explicit versions and route them through production or private branches.
Automatic update workflow
Let the launcher resolve the release assigned to the current branch and update the local Unity installation accordingly.
Runtime player session
Keep the account UI in the launcher and expose a small validated session contract to Unity gameplay code.
Private testing channels
Distribute QA, alpha and beta Unity builds to selected players without replacing the production release.
CLI-centered deployment
Make Unity release publishing repeatable from a developer machine or CI pipeline after the game build is exported.
Unity delivery
Export the game, publish the release, launch with a validated session.
Engine output becomes the input to LauncherForge rather than requiring release logic to be embedded into the Unity project itself.
- 01BUILD
Export the Unity game.
Produce the Windows build using the normal Unity build process.
- 02DEPLOY
Publish the exported files with LauncherForge.
Scan, hash and publish the build as a version on the selected branch.
- 03UPDATE
The branded launcher resolves the release.
Players install or update the Unity game using the release state for their branch.
- 04SESSION
Unity reads the validated launch session.
Runtime integration exposes the player identity required by the game without owning the login UI.
Unity runtime
Keep launcher authentication outside your gameplay screens.
The launcher is responsible for credentials and account UX. Unity receives only the launch-session state it needs when the game starts.

Unity + release infrastructure
Use the same delivery model across engines.
Patching, branches and launcher updates are engine independent, so the Unity integration can stay focused on runtime session handoff.
Unity game launcher FAQ
Questions about LauncherForge with Unity.
Unity builds use the same release infrastructure as other engines while runtime authentication remains an integration concern.
Can LauncherForge distribute exported Unity builds?+
Yes. The release workflow operates on the packaged game files produced by your build process rather than requiring a specific engine project layout.
Can Unity players use a branded login screen?+
Yes. The player-facing login lives in the launcher, where you can control branding and account flow without duplicating that UI inside Unity.
Can I use private branches for Unity QA?+
Yes. QA, alpha, beta or partner builds can be kept separate from production through private release branches.
Are game updates Unity-specific?+
No. Update and file-delivery infrastructure is engine independent. Unity-specific code is used for runtime integration where needed.
Can Unity read the authenticated player identity?+
Yes. The integration pattern exposes the validated launch-session data required by the game while keeping credentials in the launcher.
