PRODUCT FACTS

What the Steam listing establishes

The store page gives the identity checks a download mirror cannot: the app ID, developer, publisher, live supported platforms, release history, base price status, and links to licensed content.

Use it as the source of truth when a search result claims there is a new platform build or a separate official installer.

App ID: 3301060

Developer: infiniteloop

Publisher: infiniteloop

Base app: Free to play

Listed platforms: Windows and macOS

INSTALL FLOW

How to install Desktop Mate from Steam

  1. Install the official Steam client or open the store in a browser.
  2. Sign in and open the Desktop Mate listing with App ID 3301060.
  3. Select Play Game or Install and choose a Steam library.
  4. Wait for Steam to finish the base-app download and updates.
  5. Launch once before buying DLC or installing a community loader.

The custom steam://install/3301060 link can open the client directly, but the web listing remains the clearest verification route.

UPDATES AND RECOVERY

Use Steam to return to a clean build

When an app update breaks an old loader, remove the community change before blaming the base application. Steam's Installed Files section can verify the publisher-delivered files after you clean up the mod.

Keep model files and notes outside folders that Steam may overwrite, and save the original author URL for every mod you test.
