Couchpit Demo

This demo is the full Couchpit. Every feature, free for 14 days from the first time you open it. After that it keeps working for good, in basic mode. In basic mode, your gamepad still drives Windows with the shortcuts, the action wheel and the cheat sheet that come built in, non-Xbox pads still work in Xbox-only games (you switch it on yourself), and the system tweaks, the timer and your play-time stats stay. The full version adds what Couchpit does for you without you touching anything: you open a game and it moves the sound to the TV, sets the screens and the power plan, mutes notifications and pauses background apps, and puts everything back when you quit.

It also lets you change the shortcuts, the wheel and the per-game setup. Buy it whenever you like and carry on where you left off. Your profiles and settings are still there. Press play. Couchpit handles the rest. You have a PC, a TV, a couch and a gamepad. The tedious part is everything between sitting down and starting to play: moving the sound to the soundbar, picking the resolution, pausing OneDrive, muting the notification that always lands mid-cutscene, and finding a keyboard to close the window that opened in front of the game.

Couchpit does all of that for you. When Big Picture opens or a game goes fullscreen, it applies your gaming setup.…
