Hey c/selfhosted,

It's been a while since our last update, but we've been busy working on exciting new GameVault features!

For those unfamiliar: GameVault is a self-hosted gaming platform that offers a Steam-like library experience for DRM-free games on your own server. It allows you to organize, share, and play your game collection with friends and family, all while keeping complete control over your data. If you are a gamer and self-hoster and never heard of it, you are probably missing out!

Based on your valuable feedback, we've significantly improved GameVault+, our main source of income, to ensure that it truly provides value for its price.

So what's new in GameVault+?

💾 Cloud Saves

GameVault now supports cloud saves through integration with Ludusavi. Your server becomes your personal cloud - automatically syncing save files between PCs and your GameVault server. Easily continue playing on another device or uninstall games and return to them later without losing your progress!

💬 Discord Integration

Your friends can now see exactly which GameVault games you're playing, thanks to a brand-new Discord Presence integration.

🚂 Steam Integration

Manage all your games in one place! GameVault can now fully synchronize your library with Steam as non-Steam shortcuts, letting you launch everything from Steam's familiar interface or your TV using Steam Big Picture.

👪 Affordable Family & Friends Plan

We've especially heard your feedback on pricing for families and groups loud and clear. Our new Family & Friends Plan lets you use GameVault+ with up to 6 users for just €8.99/month - making the premium features affordable for almost everyone!

🎯 Other Improvements

The latest updates also includes various bug fixes, improved stability, better theme management, UI enhancements, and performance optimizations.

Lastly.. Thank you for reaching 1k Discord members, 10k active users, and over 100k Docker Pulls, and for supporting our passion and work on this hobby project by subscribing to GameVault+. Your feedback continues to shape GameVault, so please share your thoughts and suggestions here, on our GitHub, or on our Discord!

Happy Gaming,

The Phalcode Team

Again, I don't know your upload speed, but the usual private household has around 30-40Mbit, which is not nearly enough to transfer large games quickly. It would probably be quicker to driver over to your house with a thumb drive and get the games that way

I was just trying to be funny. I personally mostly share Fan Games like Pokémon Uranium and Plants vs zombie neighborhood defense etc., and it's perfect for that. Big AAA Games take way to long to Download.

Ah, sry. Thought you were the guy who thought this was the doom of indie game Deva or something
