Very cool! Please note that we have plans for a big picture UI with the use of OpenGamepadUI. https://github.com/ShadowBlip/OpenGamepadUI/ While OpenGamepadUI already supports Lutris, we'd like to have a better integration with it and ship as a component of Lutris itself. |

Since this is one of the top search results for "lutris big picture": Are there any updates on this? |
|
There is a Lutris plugin for OGUI which is basic but functional. |
|
And are there plans for the "better integration with it" that was mentioned? Right now what I'm doing is use the Kodi plugin for Lutris, which is... a bit unideal. 😅 I'll also check out the OGUI plugin. |

We're planning to work on the Lutris plugin for OpenGamepadUI to improve it. The plan has changed a bit since 2024, though: OpenGamepadUI won't be bundled with Lutris itself. Instead, we'll make it easy to download and set up from Lutris. No timeline yet, but the plugin is the way to go for a controller-friendly interface in the meantime. |

i acitually like this idea without opengamepadui. i gave opengamepadui a test drive and it seems it wants to be its own steam drop in replacement rather than just a game manager. right now both lutris and heroic have a hit or miss at best interface for big picture mode. it might be cool to have this as a lutris launch option, at least until a more permanent and/or planned out solution is in place |
Uh oh!

Dear all,
I didn't manage to use lutris without keyboard/mouse input e.g. with only a controller.
Thus, I created lutrisview to browse my lutris library with a controller and get closer to a console like experience (screenshot underneath). Please check it out !
This is a simple python script leveraging pygame installed as a linux desktop application. Internally it leverages lutris ability to output json on its command line interface and to launch game by ID. It also leverages lutris cache folder to get game coverarts (the hackiest part ^^). This simplicity should make lutrisview quite robust against API changes.
Many thanks to all Lutris contributors!
Best regards
