Every game.
One console.
SofaBox turns your PC or phone into a game console. Your PC games, Steam and Epic library, Android games and emulators — all in one fullscreen home screen you drive with a controller.
Free · Windows 10 & 11 · Android 8.0+ · Works with Xbox, PlayStation and Switch controllers
This is the real SofaBox interface. Click inside, then use the arrow keys or WASD, Enter to play, X for options, M for settings — or plug in a controller. Open full screen ↗
This is the real SofaBox interface, shrunk to fit your screen. Tap a game to try it and swipe the row to scroll. For the full-size version, open it full screen ↗ and turn your phone sideways.
A console home screen for everything you play
Stop hunting through desktop shortcuts and app drawers. SofaBox puts every game behind one controller-friendly screen.
Your whole library
Add PC games, import Steam and Epic in one click, pick Android games, scan ROM folders for emulator games, and add web and cloud games — they open full screen with ads blocked by uBlock Origin's filter lists.
Made for controllers
Turn on a controller and SofaBox goes fullscreen. Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo button prompts, plus an on-screen keyboard. Hold Home for mouse mode to use any app or Windows itself with your controller, and give any button a new job, like a screenshot or Task view.
Home button, anywhere
Press your controller's Home button inside any game to jump back to SofaBox, then pick it again to carry on where you left off. Start another game and the old one closes — one game at a time, like a console.
Emulators that just work
Built-in presets for the popular emulators. Pick a game and it boots straight in — no menus, no file browsing.
Make it yours
Cover art and backgrounds downloaded automatically, shelf or grid layouts, tile shapes, colors, collections and your own profile picture.
Plug into a TV
On Android, SofaBox moves to your TV over HDMI or USB-C and scales to fit, and runs full screen on Samsung DeX. On Windows it's a borderless fullscreen console on any screen.
From ROM folder to playing in three steps
SofaBox starts emulators the right way — with their own launch options — so your game boots straight to the title screen.
Pick your emulator
Choose a preset like RetroArch, Dolphin or NetherSX2 and point SofaBox at it. Every setting can be changed.
Scan your games
Point SofaBox at a ROM folder. Every game gets its own tile with cover art downloaded for you.
Press play
Select a tile and the game starts in fullscreen. Press Home to come back.

Questions
Does SofaBox come with games or ROMs?
No. SofaBox is a launcher: it organizes and starts games and emulators you already own and have installed. It doesn't include or download any games.
Is SofaBox free?
Yes — adding and playing games, the Home button, web games and ad blocking are free. SofaBox Pro is a one-time upgrade inside the app that adds mouse mode, button mapping and macros, your own colors and background images, library layouts and TV fine-tuning.
Which controllers work?
Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch Pro and most Bluetooth or USB controllers. SofaBox shows the right button symbols for your controller automatically.
Does SofaBox collect my data?
No. There are no accounts, ads or analytics, and your library never leaves your device. See the privacy policy.
Why does the Android version need an accessibility permission?
It's optional, and it lets you control your phone with a game controller instead of the touchscreen. It lets your controller's Home button bring you back to SofaBox from inside a game, opens SofaBox when you connect a TV or DeX, makes DeX windows full screen, powers button mapping and mouse mode, and closes the previous game when you switch. SofaBox never records what you type or what's on screen, and nothing leaves your device. More in Help.
