Installing Soulbound as a Progressive Web App (PWA) allows you to run the game in a standalone window, similar to a native app, which can improve performance and reduce distractions. Here’s how you can install it:

Step 1: Open the Soulbound Website in Chrome

• Launch Chrome on your Mac or PC.

• Navigate to the Soulbound website.

Step 2: Install the PWA

For Mac and PC:

• In the address bar, you’ll see a small icon that looks like a computer with a download arrow (or a plus sign) on the far right. Click on this icon.

• Alternatively you can open the settings menu and click on Install App.

• A prompt will appear asking if you want to “Install” the app. Click “Install.”

• The Soulbound PWA will now install and open in its own window, separate from Chrome, giving you a more app-like experience.

Step 3: Launch Soulbound from the PWA

• Once installed, you can launch Soulbound directly from your desktop or application menu without opening Chrome first. This reduces the overhead of running the game within a browser tab, potentially improving performance.

Step 4: Enjoy Enhanced Performance

• Running Soulbound as a PWA optimizes system resources by minimizing the number of background processes that Chrome usually runs. This can lead to smoother gameplay, faster loading times, and less interference from other browser-related tasks.

By installing Soulbound as a PWA, you not only enjoy a more immersive gaming experience but also benefit from better performance, especially on systems where browser overhead can impact gameplay.
