About the Gaming App

Nexus is a gaming app design template built around an "Arcade Night" aesthetic: a near-black violet base, off-white text, and graphite cards lit by a single electric-violet accent used like a neon glow. Depth comes from tone and soft glows rather than borders, with edge-to-edge game key art and bold, slightly-condensed headings that carry game-poster energy. The result reads premium and charged without feeling cluttered, like Steam meets Discord at midnight.

The template ships six connected screens that form a complete gaming experience: a Home feed with a featured hero banner and horizontal shelves for Trending and Continue Playing, a Discover screen with genre tiles and a curated grid, a My Library cover-art grid with install, download, and cloud states, a Game detail page with screenshots and a glowing "Play Game" button, a Community screen with online friends and an activity feed, and a Profile with level, XP, achievements, and play stats.

Use it in Sleek and make it yours: restyle the violet palette, edit any screen with AI by describing the change, and add the flows your product needs. Then export it to code, copy it into Figma, or hand a prompt to an AI agent to build it for real, far faster than starting from a blank canvas.

Screens included

Home

A personalised feed opening with a "Neon Drift" featured hero and a "Play Now" button, then horizontal shelves for Trending games (with score badges) and Continue Playing. The launchpad for jumping back into play.

Discover

A search bar over genre tiles (Action, RPG, Racing, Indie) with key art, plus a New & Noteworthy grid showing prices and a NEW tag. The browse-and-find surface for new games.

My Library

The player's owned games as a cover-art grid with All Games, Installed, and Favorites filters, and per-title states for installed, downloading, and cloud. Makes managing a collection quick.

Game detail

Full-width key art with rating and genre tag, a screenshot carousel, an About description, a friends-who-play row, and a glowing "Play Game" button. The page that sells and launches a title.

Community

Tabs for Friends, Activity, and Clans, an Online Now row of avatars, and an activity feed showing what friends are playing with video clips and unlocked achievements. The social heart of the app.

Profile

An avatar with level badge, a Level Progress XP bar toward the next reward, GAMES, HOURS, and FRIENDS stats, an achievements showcase, and recent plays. Shows off a player's history.

Questions, answered. Everything to know before you start.

How do I build a gaming app from this template?

Click "Use this template" to open it in Sleek as your own editable project, then shape it by describing the changes you want: restyle the palette, edit any screen, and add the flows your product needs. You start from six complete screens instead of a blank canvas, so you reach a working gaming app design far faster.

What screens are included in this gaming app design template?

Six connected screens: Home, Discover, My Library, Game detail, Community, and Profile. Together they cover the core flow of a real gaming app, from browsing and discovering games to launching them, tracking progress, and following friends.

Can I customize the gaming app UI design?

Yes. Use the template in Sleek and edit any screen by chatting with the AI: swap the electric-violet accent for another color, change layouts, restyle game cards, and add or remove flows. There's no manual redraw; you describe the change and it's applied.

Is this template suitable for a game launcher or community hub?

Absolutely. The library grid, game detail page, and community activity feed map cleanly onto a game launcher, store, or Discord-style community hub. Adjust the genres, titles, and social features to fit your product.

Can I export the design to code or Figma?

Yes. Sleek exports your design as code, copies straight into Figma with no plugin, or hands you a ready-made prompt that an AI agent like Claude Code or Cursor can use to build it into a real, working app.

Is this gaming app design template free to use?

You can open and explore the design for free, then use it in your own Sleek project to build on it. Editing and exporting follow Sleek's standard plans.
