Desktop tools remain useful
Arrange available PC readings, music, volume and other widgets on your desktop or second screen. A game does not need to be running for that workspace to have a purpose.
System Requirements
SysCubes system requirements: choose the setup that fits.
Bring useful PC readings, capture and everyday controls into a workspace that suits your setup. Check the Windows and Overwolf baseline, then choose a desktop layout, supported game Overlay, second monitor or phone companion. Start with the tools you use most and add more as your routine grows.

Quick answer
Prepare the PC, then build your useful workspace.
The current Overwolf build needs Windows 10 1809+ or Windows 11, .NET Framework 4.8 and Overwolf Client 0.294.0.18 or later. Start with available desktop widgets, then check the game, display, sensor or media support for the features you want. A second screen or paired phone gives those controls another useful place beside your game.
The current package
A Windows runtime, with the native controls included.
Requirements updated .
| Requirement | Current baseline | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | Windows 10 version 1809+ or Windows 11; bundled native integration targets x64. | Check the Windows version and system type on the PC that will run the app. |
| .NET runtime | .NET Framework 4.8 for the bundled Windows plugin. | Follow the complete package's runtime instructions; the .NET SDK is a different tool. |
| Overwolf Client | 0.294.0.18 or newer is the current package's declared minimum. | Use a current compatible client and the distribution instructions for your build. |
| Package access | Official Overwolf store release or verified setup package. | Download SysCubes directly for Windows 10/11 through the official release installer. |
The Windows integrations are bundled with the Overwolf package. Players using a complete build need the runtime requirements above; Node.js, a source checkout and the .NET SDK are tools for developers. Check the release instructions for your build to take the right installation route.
Choose your gaming workspace
Useful desktop controls, with supported game integrations.
Verify the in-game surface
Check the exact title and edition in Overwolf's supported-games list. Then enable the running game's SysCubes profile and test the visible Overlay in that game's supported display mode.
Prepare the feature you will use
Check the game FPS reading during play, or save a short capture with picture and audio before a match you want to keep. A quick test makes your chosen monitoring or recording routine ready for the session.
Check your title and edition in the current Overwolf supported-games reference, including its display-mode guidance. Its current guidance excludes Microsoft Store game editions. When an in-game integration is unavailable, keep supported PC readings and controls on the desktop or a second-screen dashboard.
Build around available capabilities
One supported PC. Different feature dependencies.
| Feature | What it depends on | Useful first test |
|---|---|---|
| Game Overlay | Overwolf support, current game/display configuration and enabled widgets in the correct profile. | Show one visible widget and confirm its interaction mode. |
| Game FPS | A supported running-game FPS source. | Check an available changing FPS reading during actual gameplay. |
| Hardware readings | Supported sensors and the access path the current native integration exposes. | Compare available readings and inspect the app's status for a missing sensor. |
| Game recording / Replay | Overwolf capture support, display/source configuration and a writable destination. | Save a short test and verify its picture, audio and file location. |
| Monitor brightness | A supported DDC/CI external display path or laptop WMI brightness interface. | Adjust one small level and verify the intended physical screen. |
| Media / app volume | An exposed Windows media session or an available Windows audio playback session. | Start playback, select the intended source and test one small control. |
| Processes | Available Windows native process readings. | Search for a recognized app and inspect CPU and memory samples. |
Choose the features that help your session, then use their individual documentation for setup. Checking your actual sensors, display and capture workload helps you build a workspace that suits your PC.
Use the phone you already have
A browser companion on a trusted local network.
Keep the Windows app reachable
Run SysCubes on the PC. Connect the phone to Wi-Fi that can reach the PC's local address; the PC can use Ethernet or Wi-Fi on that trusted LAN.
Open and pair the local page
Use the PC's current Phone Companion address or QR code. Pair in the phone's browser with the current code; no separate mobile app is required.
Review the modules and test one action
Choose the information and controls you want shared. Verify a small supported action on the PC before relying on the companion during a game.
Use the right route for the build
Prepare for the package you will actually receive.
SysCubes for Windows is available to download via Overwolf. The download page lists current Windows release status. Use the link and instructions for your available channel to prepare the complete app package.
If you have an approved test build, follow its supplied installation instructions and runtime requirements. Keep the package complete, open the dashboard and verify one useful desktop widget before testing game features.
Make the first session a small one
Confirm the basics, then grow your workspace.
Check runtime and release access
Match the Windows, .NET Framework and Overwolf versions to the instructions for your complete build.
Start with a useful desktop widget
Open the dashboard and check one available PC control or reading. Add another only after the first behaves as expected.
Verify the game-specific path
If you need the Overlay, game FPS or capture, start the intended title and test that particular feature before an important session.
Compare the actual workload
Repeat the same game scene with a small layout, then add Replay or other workloads individually. Choose the balance of controls and performance that works on your PC.

System Requirements FAQ
What are the current SysCubes system requirements?
The current Overwolf package is for Windows 10 version 1809 or later, or Windows 11, with .NET Framework 4.8 and Overwolf Client 0.294.0.18 or newer. The bundled Windows native integration targets x64. Check the release channel and the requirements supplied with the exact build you receive.
Do I need Node.js or the .NET SDK to use SysCubes?
No. Those are tools used to build the development package, rather than player requirements. A tester using a complete built package needs the supported Windows environment, .NET Framework runtime and Overwolf Client. Use the instructions provided for your distribution channel instead of installing development tools to troubleshoot a widget.
Does SysCubes work with every PC game?
Desktop widgets can remain useful without a supported game. In-game Overlay, game FPS and capture have separate game and platform requirements. Check the exact game and edition against Overwolf's supported-games list, then verify the particular feature you need. Detection alone does not establish that every integration is available.
Can SysCubes run on macOS, Linux or a console?
The Windows system integrations and current Overwolf package described here require Windows. Browser demonstrations can illustrate the interface on another device, but they do not provide the native controls or game Overlay. The phone companion is a browser control surface for a reachable Windows PC, rather than a console or macOS version of SysCubes.
Does the phone companion need a separate mobile app?
No separate phone app is needed. Open its local page in the phone's browser and pair with the running Windows app on a trusted reachable network. PC Ethernet and phone Wi-Fi can work together when local communication is allowed. Available actions still depend on the PC's feature support and enabled companion modules.
How much RAM or which GPU does SysCubes require?
SysCubes needs Windows 10 1809 or later, or Windows 11, with Overwolf. Beyond that, plan around your game's requirements and the widgets or capture you plan to use. Begin with a few useful widgets and compare the same scene before and after enabling capture or a larger layout.
