Choose between Overwolf Native and Overwolf Electron frameworks
Overwolf provides two primary frameworks for building PC gaming apps and overlays:
- Overwolf Native: Built with 100% pure JavaScript. It is coupled with the Overwolf Client and includes a built-in installer.
- Overwolf Electron: An empowered Electron.js framework that allows developers to integrate Overwolf features into existing Electron apps. The installer is optional and it is not coupled with the Overwolf Client.
Both frameworks provide access to:
- In-game overlays (1500+ games)
- Real-time Game Data/Events API (40+ games)
- Monetization (Ads and Subscriptions)
- Analytics, Marketing, and Funding support
- Ad Fraud Protection and Dev Console
