SteelSeries GG is a powerful, free-to-download platform designed to elevate your gaming experience by bringing multiple tools and features together in one easy-to-use application. These include:
- QuickSet: Ready-made presets that automatically apply optimized keyboard settings for popular games, saving you time and effort.
- Sonar: An advanced audio solution for gaming and streaming, offering precise control over your sound setup.
- Moments: Effortlessly capture, edit, and share your best gameplay highlights.
- 3DAT: Train your aim with deadly training routines designed to improve precision and accuracy.
- Engine: Customize your SteelSeries devices with features like key bindings, macros, and RGB lighting to suit your style.
- Giveaways: Unlock exclusive in-game items, free DLCs, and other rewards with regular updates.
With all these tools, SteelSeries GG gives you everything you need to play better.
SteelSeries Sonar is a Windows-based audio software designed to enhance gaming audio on PCs. Unfortunately, it is not directly compatible with gaming consoles like Xbox or PlayStation.
However, if you own a SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 headset or Arctis GameBuds™, you can download the Arctis Companion App on your mobile device. This app allows you to access over 100 game-specific audio presets and customize your audio experience for use on consoles, giving you enhanced audio even without Sonar.
Yes, you can use Engine within SteelSeries GG to customize and optimize your SteelSeries headset. Engine allows you to adjust settings like:
- EQ profiles
- Surround sound
- Mic levels
- RGB lighting (for supported devices)
However, if you're looking for next-level audio customization, Sonar—also available in SteelSeries GG—offers advanced features such as:
- More than 180 game presets
- Five-Channel Audio Mix: Game, Chat, Media, Aux, Mic for precise audio balancing
- Microphone AI Noise Cancellation (your voice)
- Chat AI Noise Cancellation (on your friends voice)
- 3D Spatial Audio for immersive soundscapes
- Streamer Mode optimized for live-streaming setups
And more
While Engine provides great device-specific settings, Sonar allows for advanced audio control, enabling you to have separate tuning for different audio channels. For example, you can have noise canceling on your chat channel while keeping a game preset for your game audio. If you use only Engine, all your sound will have the same tuning, which means you might miss out on the specialized audio experience that Sonar offers.
For the best audio experience on PC, we recommend using Sonar for its superior customization and advanced features. Both tools are available for free within SteelSeries GG, giving you the flexibility to choose the best solution for your gaming or streaming needs.
No, inactive apps in SteelSeries GG will not impact your performance. If you don't want to use one of the apps, you can easily turn it off in the settings. Once disabled, the app will not run in the background or affect your system's performance. As an example If you don't have a SteelSeries device connected, Engine app inside GG will remain inactive and won't impact your PC performance.
SteelSeries GG is designed to ensure that unused features do not consume resources, providing a streamlined experience tailored to your needs.
