I want the game launcher on s9

Game launcher has to be enabled. Settings-advanced features-Games

I don't see game launcher anywhere. I checked the settings. Normally by now the phone is bugging me to use it to and nothing. I actually like game center.

I can't find it and I really enjoyed it on the s8

Is it available to download it somewhere. I keep searching. It was actually useful.

I know I loved it

I was just about to post about this.. I have at&t S9 plus and I can't find it anywhere.. videos I've watched says it's suppose to be under advanced features in setting.. but it's not there

 

[Godtism God of Autism]

At&t here as well. From what I've seen, game tools is there, but not Game Launcher.

 

[lucianus_luciferus]

Settings, advanced features, games, game launcher

 

[williams448]

Not there on the At&t variant

Seems as if att decided not to have it. Makes no sense.

Yeah I noticed this was not available too. I used it on my Note 8. They even updated it for the N8 Oreo release. Makes no sense why they would leave it out from the S9s.

It must be a carrier thing. I have it on my Verizon S9+

I found a working SOLUTION! I made an account just right now so I could post it for everyone lol. I have the same problem, I got s9 AT&T and apparently they removed game launcher and worst part its gone from the galaxy app too which is really upsetting. Anyways, you don't care about that, you care about the solution. So basically I downloaded the apk file from online (link is below). At first I downloaded it and the it said app not installed to the newest version. Odd solution, keep trying to install and eventually it will just install it lol and it works not. So yea, enjoy.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 has pre-installed an app that sounds like "Game Launcher". The Game Launcher can organize the games you have installed on the smartphone and also save scores etc. in the cloud. Thus, for example, you no longer have problems transferring saved games between Galaxy devices.

However, if you do not want to use this feature, you can disable the Game Launcher on the Samsung Galaxy S9. Uninstalling is unfortunately not possible because this app is permanently integrated into the Android firmware. This would only be possible with root privileges, which we will not go into here.

Turn off Game Launcher feature for the Samsung Galaxy S9
From the Home screen, open the App menu and then Settings
Now select "Advanced Features" and in the next submenu "Games"
You will now see the "Game Launcher" feature - disable it by setting the slider to "Off" - Done!
The Game Launcher is now inactive and should not bother you anymore.

When you open a game... you have that slide out area where your home button is... where it has the arrow the rounded square and the 3 lines... so under the 3 lines very VERY dim is the game launcher button... so just click at the bottom right corner of the screen when you slide from the right to the left to pull up that little nav bar. it should open it and it will ask you to agree and there you have it.

BTW: It's called Game Tools. And you cannot access it through the settings-advanced settings- way. This is the only way as of right now that I know how to access it.

It was useful in the past now it's nothing but Samsung advertising. Unfortunately it's so bad it outweighs the advantage of the app. I disabled it and it's staying that way. Make a folder and put your games into it works fine.
