Anarchy Arcade

Anarchy Arcade turns your desktop into a 3D world where you can explore and launch games, programs and media through 3D objects instead of 2D shortcut icons. You can use it as an everyday desktop or to organize and share a collection of games, movies and images, while continuing to use Windows and other programs.

Build your arcade

Spawn shortcuts and props, change their properties and arrange them into a customized space. You can use maps and models from more than 30 Source engine games as 3D desktops, with over 50,000 compatible maps and many thousands of props. The built-in Workshop publishing tool lets you share customizations and creations; more than 1,000 items have been shared.

Launch and browse

Walk up to an item and click Launch to open it, without browsing through menus. Anarchy Arcade can launch anything that runs on your PC, including Steam and non-Steam games, programs, movies, YouTube videos, pictures and websites. It also supports emulators, which are not included, and can automatically find YouTube trailers and HD box art for 3D shortcuts.

Launched programs open over Anarchy Arcade, and you can switch between them with Alt+Tab or use your Start menu. When needed, the game enters sleep mode and releases its textures and 3D models so your PC can focus on other programs.

Explore with others

Explore other players’ creations, host a 3D desktop in multiplayer, watch videos with friends, give tours of your collection or hang out together. You can also compare collection sizes and stats with friends, earn achievements for milestones and leave your mark on a map by being the first person to load it in Anarchy Arcade.

Virtual reality

Optional virtual reality support lets you explore the 3D world using an Oculus Rift, HTC Vive or other VR devices.
