This article explains how to use the Game Settings panel, where you can manage Overwolf’s behavior and the behavior of your installed apps for each game individually.
You’ll find these settings in the Library section of your Overwolf Appstore.

What Can I Do with Overwolf’s Game Settings?

For every game you play (or have an app installed for), you can fine-tune the following settings:

Overlay & Hotkeys

Enable this option to allow Overwolf and your apps to appear in-game.
Disable it to prevent the overlay and apps from launching for that specific game.

Auto Launch Permissions

Some apps can launch automatically when you start a game.
If an app does not include its own toggle for this, Overwolf lets you control it here:

  • Allow the app to auto-launch when the game starts

  • Block it from auto-launching

Even when auto-launch is disabled, you can still open any app manually from the Overwolf dock (Ctrl + Tab in-game).

FPS Indicator

Turn this on to display an in-game FPS counter, and choose in which corner of your screen it appears.

Hotkeys

Each app’s hotkeys are managed per game.

This means you can:

  • Assign different hotkeys to the same app across different games

  • Use the same hotkey to control different apps depending on the game

For more details, see our How to Manage Your Overwolf Hotkeys article.

Where Do I Find Overwolf’s Game Settings?

You can access Game Settings from several convenient locations:

1. From an app’s page in the Appstore (for apps you’ve already installed)

3. From the dock’s right-click menu
