Is the launcher free?
Do I need an account?
No account is required to browse, download, and play. If you have an UploadHaven Pro account, you can optionally sign in for faster downloads.
Where are games downloaded?
On Windows, the default download and extraction folder is C:\SteamUnlocked\. You can choose another folder during setup or change it in Settings.
Does it need admin rights?
Why does my antivirus flag the installer?
Security tools can flag new or uncommon software, but a warning should not automatically be dismissed as a false positive. Download the launcher only from steamunlocked.org, keep protection enabled, and review the detection details. If you suspect an incorrect detection, submit the installer to your antivirus provider for review and leave it blocked until resolved.
