I decided to write down a list of complete (no alpha/beta), playable (no proprietary dependencies), FOSS videogames.
I added all the games I could find online + all of the games that came to my memory.
Feel free to have a look to see if there’s something you didn’t know. And please suggest anything I missed, but please do not suggest pre-release or unfinished games.
Thank you!
EDIT: thank you very much everyone for the comments and for sharing additional awesome lists of FOSS material. Hopefully one day I will have the time to sift through all these games and pick all the non-pre-release ones which don’t have any proprietary dependencies.
In the meantime, here’s a copy of the links:
- LibreGameWiki - A wiki of free games and related topics started by Han Dao.
- Open Source Game Clones - Open-source or source-available remakes of great old games in one place.
- Open source games - A list of different open-source video games and commercial video games open-source remakes.
@[email protected] It is highly ironic that the list of FOSS games with no proprietary dependencies then gets hosted on the most famous proprietary git forge.
Unfortunately GitHub is the most popular, but if GitHub bothers you I understand, so here’s a copy hosted on my self-hosted forge.

@[email protected] Reddit is more popular than Fedi so why even bother posting it here. The popularity argument in favour of Github is so dumb, especially when you realize that you’re part of why it stays popular.
If Github doesn’t bother you, you clearly didn’t think through why you supposedly care for free software.
You might have a point… I didn’t post on Reddit because it doesn’t feel like a place where I belong, Lemmy does.
Unfortunately GitHub still feels like a place where I belong, as that’s where most of the FOSS devs publish, despite its proprietary nature.
I do realize the irony. Perhaps when Forgejo federation will be fully implemented and enabled on Codeberg I will stop hosting on GitHub and hopefully other devs will too. But for now I think that’s what makes the most sense.

Then you belong in a place without freedom.
Most well known, perhaps, but most in the literal sense, certainly not. Not like you would know, because they don’t publish on proprietary places, so they’re not easy to find if you do not wish to put effort into looking.
So you’re waiting for a defederated version of the centralized approach to git. Git is, by its very nature, designed to work decentralized from the ground up. Then sub-par developers found it too difficult, so they add a layer of complexity on top to make it centralized. But then sub-par developers realize its actually really inconvenient to be tied to a single provider, so they add a layer of complexity on top to make it slightly less shit.
Just use git properly, its not that hard. An untold number of developers were able to do it before you, and plenty of better developers are still doing it right now. You’re hurting only yourself by limiting yourself to a worse way of using git, and you’re hurting the software development world even more by using Github. It is an insult to free software development, one you gladly keep propagating for some inane reason.
Try thinking harder.
