Introducing PlayStatus: Your Ultimate Gaming Companion

Are you a passionate gamer who loves using a controller and enjoys music while diving into your favorite games? Meet PlayStatus, the innovative overlay utility designed to elevate your gaming experience.

Stay on Top of Your Game with Smart Controller Monitoring

As a gamer, there's nothing worse than your controller dying at a critical moment. PlayStatus is here to ensure that never happens. Whether you're using a Dual Sense, Xbox or Nintendo Switch Pro controller, PlayStatus diligently tracks your controller's battery life, delivering real-time updates on battery changes. It alerts you when your controller starts charging or discharging, allowing you to stay immersed in your game without any unpleasant surprises.

Enhance Your Gaming Sessions with Seamless Music Integration

Music is the heartbeat of a great gaming session. PlayStatus seamlessly integrates with your favorite media players like Spotify, YouTube, and Foobar2000. It displays notifications of the current track, complete with artist details, song name, and album art. Whether you’re skipping tracks, hitting pause, or playing your favorite tunes, PlayStatus keeps you informed without interrupting your gameplay.

Why PlayStatus is a Game-Changer for You

Designed with gamers in mind, PlayStatus solves a common yet overlooked problem: the hassle of checking your controller’s battery life. Its intuitive overlay is perfect for those who play in borderless windowed mode, offering non-intrusive, real-time updates. This is all done with safety and convenience in mind; PlayStatus is completely self-contained, meaning that no Anti-Cheat or game will have any problem with PlayStatus running in the background!

Moreover, if you’re a music aficionado, you'll appreciate the ease of viewing your music without having to switch screens or pause your game. And for those who prefer a more focused gaming experience, the option to disable notifications is just a click away.
