An honest Windows launcher

At a glance

What we refuse to do

• Publish a resolution or frame-rate target for any title.
• Hide the titles that sit in Test because they look bad on a list.
• Promote a chip before the behaviour earns it, or leave one high after a regression.
• Host firmware, keys, or game dumps, or bundle anything with the installer.
• Claim a relationship with Sony that does not exist.

Every one of those would make the project look better in a search result. That is exactly why they are on the list.

What we do instead

We publish three words and stand behind them. Stable, Beta, and Test describe reliability, nothing more, and the 400+ titles in the app each carry one of them.

Demotions get published alongside promotions. Rise of the Ronin stays visible in Test rather than quietly vanishing, because a list that only contains good news is not a compatibility tracker.

Why night mode

The launcher is dark because that is when people actually use it. A bright interface at the end of a long day puts itself between you and the game, so Vesper uses a low-light palette and keeps the chrome quiet.

It is a design choice rather than a feature claim. The honest part is the status chips; the night mode is just comfortable.

The disclosure

Vesper is independent software and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Sony Interactive Entertainment. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.

It is also early. Crashes happen, glitches happen, and statuses move between builds. Saying so is the whole point of this page.
