Winhanced brings “The Store”
Winhanced 0.9.9.1 adds cross-store game store for Windows handhelds.
Winhanced 0.9.9.1 has been released with a new Store tab for Windows gaming handhelds. The feature is currently in Early Access and is designed to combine game discovery, price comparison and installation inside the same interface.
The Store supports Steam, Xbox, Epic Games, GOG and Humble. It pulls live price data from these storefronts and shows where a game is available. The developer described it as a store-agnostic page, with support for live prices, trailers, reviews and purchase links.
Store uses local library data
The discovery feed is based on the user’s game library. According to the developer, Winhanced takes a local snapshot of the library on the device and compares genres and tags to recommend similar games. Users can also remove individual games or entire recommendation rows and tune the feed by selecting preferred genres and mechanics.

The Store also includes wishlist support. Winhanced can import an existing Steam wishlist and allows users to add games manually. Price alerts can be set for wishlisted games, with notifications shown on the What’s New page when a game drops below the selected price.
The release calendar tracks upcoming games, sales and Game Pass titles leaving the service. Wishlisted games appear on the calendar, and users can set release notifications. The Game Pass section is meant to show when titles are leaving the subscription catalog.
Arc G3 support
MSI Claw EX 8 support is another part of this update. Winhanced now supports TDP controls, CPU and GPU monitoring, CPU boost toggles, RGB lighting and driver fetching for the device. The developer also added PL2 controls for Claw users, so the setting is no longer always clamped to the maximum value.

Several features are now leaving Early Access. SteamGridDB artwork browsing, controller back paddle support and RGB lighting controls are now available to all users. Back paddle support covers MSI Claw, ASUS handhelds and Legion Go, although Legion Go support is still described as experimental.
Winhanced 0.9.9.1 introduces the Store: discover games tuned to your taste, compare prices across storefronts, build a wishlist with price-drop alerts, and buy-to-install without ever leaving Winhanced.
