Steam Bridge

Steam Bridge is the included source module for Steamworks. It checks ownership, starts the Steam bootstrapper when needed, and forwards server passwords through launch parameters.

What it does

  • Steamworks ownership checks before launch
  • Automatic Steam client bootstrap
  • Server password and launch-arg forwarding
  • Ships free with the base launcher

How to wire the source

  1. Steam Bridge is already listed in the free plugin set — enable it in the launcher config.
  2. Set the Steam App ID for each title you launch through the hub.
  3. Map server passwords to launch parameters instead of asking players to type them in-game.
  4. If Steam is not running, the bridge starts the bootstrapper and retries the launch.
