What's new

Steam Deck and controller support, on every system:

  • Controllers: move around the whole app with a gamepad (or the arrow keys).
  • Add to Steam: put an installed game in Steam's library, with artwork, so you can start
    it from Game Mode or Big Picture.
  • Couch mode: a bigger, full-screen layout with an on-screen keyboard, on by itself in
    Steam's Game Mode and Big Picture (Settings → Couch mode).
  • Steam Deck: install games to the SD card, and text fields open Steam's own keyboard.
  • Proton: on Linux and the Steam Deck, ports that only have a Windows build install and
    run through Proton, if Steam has it installed.

Also new: installed games in the sidebar, ports downloaded from their own site, and 7z
archives. Portside is in alpha: expect rough edges and please report bugs as issues.

Downloads

System File
macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) Portside_<version>_universal.dmg

These builds are not signed yet

  • macOS: open the app once, close the warning, then go to System Settings → Privacy &
    Security and click Open Anyway. If macOS says the app "is damaged", run
    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Portside.app in Terminal.
  • Windows: SmartScreen may warn about an unknown publisher; click More info → Run anyway.
  • Linux: make the AppImage executable (chmod +x) and run it.

Portside never downloads or shares game files: bring your own.
