Setup

  1. Install Game Release Lantern from Marketplace.
  2. Open the Stream Deck App.
  3. Find Game Release Lantern in the actions list.
  4. Drag Featured Game onto three keys.
  5. Select slots 1, 2, and 3 in the property inspector.
  6. Enable Keep this game for any game you want to retain across lineup updates. Supported pinned games remain launchable after release; unpinned slots follow the new bundled lineup.
  7. Leave Stream Deck’s custom Title field empty for automatic release labels.
  8. Optionally add Catalog Status to another key.

New bundled lineups select upcoming games only. Already installed or pinned games do not expire when they release. Press an upcoming game to open its Steam Store page. After confirmed release, pressing the key launches an owned, installed copy through Steam when available; if that handoff fails, the plugin opens the Store page instead.

The plugin displays a calendar date outside the 72-hour window and a live hour/minute countdown at exactly 72 hours and inside it. Verified publisher unlock times take precedence. When only a release date is known, the countdown ends at local midnight on that date, and launching waits until the following day to avoid assuming an unconfirmed unlock time. The timer and its black band disappear when the release time arrives; the title remains.
