GameHub’s beta 6.0 update makes the app much more ambitious for Android users who want a single place to manage PC games. The build adds Epic Games Store integration, portrait mode, and faster startup for selected Steam titles, giving the app a broader and more practical feature set.
The Epic Games Store addition is the headline change because it lets users access Epic titles directly from GameHub. That moves the app closer to a cross-platform gaming hub, especially for players who already have an Epic account and library.
Steam users also get a meaningful improvement through Steam Launch Boost. The feature is designed to make some Steam games open much faster, reducing the wait before gameplay starts.
That focus on speed matters because GameHub is not only expanding supported services, but also trying to improve the everyday experience of launching games. For people who switch between titles often, even a small reduction in load time can make the app feel more responsive.
GameHub’s beta 6.0 also broadens what can be managed inside the app beyond current PC game libraries. The update adds support for retro games, which fits the app’s position as an Android game emulation tool that aims to bring different collections into one environment.
Control customization is part of that same push. The changelog includes Ultimate Virtual Controls and Config Sharing, with Share Codes allowing users to share control layouts instead of building them again from scratch.
Portrait support is another major step for mobile use. GameHub now supports smooth switching between landscape and portrait, which should make the app easier to use on phones where screen size and hand position can affect comfort.
That vertical layout option is especially relevant for an Android app built around emulation and virtual controls. On a smaller display, portrait mode can offer a cleaner and more flexible way to play or navigate the app with one hand.
Despite the long list of improvements, all of these changes are still limited to beta 6.0. GameHub has not said when they will move to the stable version, and users also cannot roll back to the previous version after updating because of core architecture changes.
The wider context is also notable because Epic Games Store support has been arriving across competing platforms too. GameNative added similar support in February 2026, while GameHub’s Epic Games Store support on Mac was announced earlier and entered beta earlier this month.
For now, anyone who wants to try the new features has to install the beta version. That makes the update attractive for early adopters, but it also means the build remains tied to the limitations that come with testing software.
