Play amazing community-created games, free to play. All 15 titles included with every Glitch account.
Homebrew games are brand-new titles created by independent developers for classic hardware. These aren't ROM hacks or bootlegs — they're original games, built from scratch using the same tools and constraints that defined the golden age of gaming. Developers write assembly code targeting real hardware specs, producing games that run natively on original consoles and, of course, on emulators like those powering Glitch.
The homebrew scene has exploded in recent years. Talented creators around the world are pushing retro platforms to their absolute limits, producing games that rival — and sometimes surpass — the commercial releases of their era.
Every homebrew game on Glitch is free to play and distributed with the developer's permission. No piracy, no gray areas — just pure creative passion delivered straight to your screen.
Are you a homebrew developer? We'd love to feature your game on Glitch. Our platform gives your creation a global audience — players can stream your game on supported devices, with minimal friction. There's no cost to list your game, and you retain full ownership of your work.
To submit, you'll need a playable ROM file, cover art (at least 400×400 pixels), a short description, and confirmation that you hold the rights to distribute the game. Our team reviews every submission by hand to ensure quality and compatibility across all supported Glitch platforms.
Submissions are typically reviewed within one week. Once approved, your game goes live in the homebrew library and becomes instantly streamable to Glitch users worldwide.
