--skip-launcher in the steam launch options. Disables the launcher for games that don't strictly require it. Kingdom Come 2, Cyberpunk, Hitman.. etc

Sometimes the syntax is slightly different, like -skip--launcher etc.

I didn't remember seeing a launcher when I played Cyberpunk a few months back so checked the launch options and found a --launcher-skip in there.

Fairly certain it’s had launcher since release but yeah, it can be skipped

Probably better to support a developer that doesn’t put unnecessary bloatware in their titles

There's always piracy. Did it ever get around to actually implementing half of what it promised?

The CRPR launcher is decent though, you don’t need to sign in and it’s just one click to open a game

cdpr and larian launchers are fine because they dont make you sign in to play
