Release notes

What changed.

The short version of each release, newest first. Currently 2.9.0.

Onism Play 1.28.0

November 4, 2026

The whole hero image, and a shortcut to minimize your game.

  • NEW

    Minimize game shortcut

    Press ctrl-cmd-M to hide the running game and return to Onism Play, and again to bring it back. You can change it in Settings.

  • FIXED

    Hero image no longer cropped

    The Play banner follows the art's own shape, so the top and bottom of the picture show.

November 4, 2026

The EA app runs on the Apple graphics engine.

  • IMPROVED

    EA app on D3DMetal or DXMT

    Like Ubisoft Connect, the EA app now uses an engine with D3DMetal or DXMT, so DirectX 12 games started from it can run.

Onism Play 1.27.5

November 4, 2026

Clearer EA and Ubisoft pages.

  • IMPROVED

    Account first

    Launcher store pages show the account state and main action first, with a neutral note instead of a warning about how these stores work.

  • IMPROVED

    Set up engine

    On a lite install with no engine yet, the main button says Set up engine instead of an Install button that fails.

Onism Play 1.27.2

November 4, 2026

Your EA games, not just installed ones.

  • NEW

    Owned EA games

    Sync library on the EA app page now lists the games your EA account owns. Install opens the EA app.

    Ubisoft's Install now starts the launcher on the same engine as its games.

Onism Play 1.27.0

November 4, 2026

Your Ubisoft Connect library, and Install from Onism Play.

  • NEW

    Owned Ubisoft games

    Sync library now lists every Ubisoft Connect game you own, not just installed ones.

    Stuck launcher restarts

    Open launcher on Ubisoft Connect or the EA app now restarts a launcher that is already running.

  • FIXED

    No blank Ubisoft window

    Ubisoft Connect now starts with the same rendering switches as the EA app, so its login page draws.
