Sync Playtime from Other Storefront Launchers

📋Summary

Introduce support for importing and syncing playtime data from various PC storefronts—such as Amazon Games, Epic Games Store, and others—similar to the Steam & GOG playtime sync feature introduced in LaunchBox 12.5. This would ensure more accurate tracking across multiple devices and installations.

❗Problem

Currently, playtime data is only automatically imported from Steam & GOG. Other storefronts (Epic, Amazon, etc.) do not sync their usage statistics with LaunchBox, requiring manual updates or relying on inconsistent device-based cloud syncing. For users running LaunchBox across multiple PCs or setups, this creates discrepancies in recorded playtime.

💡Proposal

• Expand the playtime sync feature to support other major storefronts that track usage stats locally or via cloud

• Detect and import available playtime metadata directly from installed launchers where supported

• Optionally allow the user to choose whether LaunchBox or the storefront’s value should be considered the “source of truth”

• Sync this data as part of the existing cloud sync workflow for consistency across devices

🔄Targeted Storefronts

• Epic Games Store: Games often store playtime locally in cloud config files

• Amazon Games: Also tracks total play hours per title within the launcher

• Ubisoft Connect / EA App / Battle.net (future support possible)

✅Benefits

• Ensures consistent and accurate playtime tracking across devices

• Reduces manual tracking effort, especially for non-Steam users

• Makes use of already available data in third-party launchers

• Supports more complete game stats and library management for completionists and stat-focused users

• Brings parity between Steam and other major launchers in LaunchBox’s tracking ecosystem
