Water takes over

The installer runs on a desktop of its own that you never see. Water clicks through every page, picks English, installs what the game needs and puts every file in its place. Not one window pops up.

From PlayStation
to Switch

The first time you install a game for a console, Water downloads its emulator, checks it and sets it up: fullscreen, saves for each profile, a sharper picture, your controller mapped.

Your controller just works

DualShock 4, DualSense and Xbox controllers work in every emulator, with no driver and nothing to map. A second controller is player two, and Settings pairs a Bluetooth one.

Questions

Something else? Ask on Discord.

What is Water?

A game launcher for Windows. Pick a game and press Install: Water downloads it, installs it and sets it up by itself, and Play starts it. Console games too, with the emulator and your controller set up for you.

Where do the games come from?

Not from Water. Water hosts no games and sells none: it’s a launcher with its own BitTorrent client. Every game comes from the BitTorrent network, downloaded from the people sharing it, so a game many people share arrives fast and a rare one takes longer.

Is Water free?

Your first install is: Water installs any one game, PC or console, without a license, and it stays installed. Installing more takes a license for Water on your PC, from our Discord: open a private ticket there and the team sends you a key.

What do I need to run it?

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, an internet connection, and room for your games. They go in C:\Games unless you pick another drive.

Why does Windows warn me about the installer?

The installer isn’t signed with a certificate yet, so Windows may say “Windows protected your PC”. Click More info, then Run anyway. Get Water only from this site; after that, it updates itself.

Which consoles does Water play?

PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PSP, NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, GameCube, Wii, Xbox and Nintendo Switch.

Can several people use it on one PC?

Yes. Everyone gets a profile with their own play time, achievements and console saves, and Water asks who’s playing when it opens.
