Games with their own tracker
- Dead by Daylight Open tracker ↗
Game stats from public accounts
Besides Steam and Twitch, the overlay can show stats from public game services. Add the widget, type your username on that service in the builder (the link parameter is shown below), and it appears when the detected game matches. Dead by Daylight keeps its dedicated tracker above.
- OSRS Hiscores
rs=— Total level, total XP, rank and skills at 99, when the game is Old School RuneScape. - Chess.com
chess=— Chess.com ratings (rapid, blitz, bullet, daily) when the game is Chess. - Lichess
lichess=— Lichess ratings (rapid, blitz, bullet, classical) when the game is Chess. - RetroAchievements
ra=— Points and rank, for emulated retro games. Only on servers whose owner set a RetroAchievements API key; otherwise it stays off. - speedrun.com
src=— Personal bests in the detected game, with your place on the leaderboard. Works for any game with runs.
Game not covered? Cover it yourself
- Type the game name. It is shown with the session timer, chat and stream stats.
- Add counters (deaths, wins, bosses, laps) and change them with hotkeys or from chat.
- Point the overlay at a JSON feed. Anything that can write a file or answer a web request can fill it: Streamer.bot, Firebot, LiveSplit, a game's mod, or a short script. Local addresses (http://127.0.0.1) work too.

{

Any PC game, from any launcher: the companion app on your PC spots the game by its running program, or by what OBS captures, and feeds it to the overlay. Download the companion
