Hi, is it possible to add a game that was installed using an .apk to the gaming hub and to make it register as a game? Right now, when I add it, it says it isn't a game, and features like USB PD don't work, which I would like to use with the game. Is there any way to do that?

You can add the game using the app store and all the other stuff that comes with it will be there

Yeah, you can add APK-installed games to the gaming hub, but the system sometimes doesn’t recognize them as actual games, which is why features like USB PD or game optimization don’t kick in. One workaround is to go into the Gaming Hub settings and manually add the app, but even then, it might still not trigger game-specific features. Some users have had luck using third-party tools or game booster apps to force recognition, but it’s not always consistent. Hopefully, Samsung improves this in future updates.

If the game still isn’t detected, you can try an optimized version, such as the cpm mod APK. Those usually register better in custom launchers.”
