Web (gd.games)

Using GDevelop hosting servers, you can export your game for publication on the web. These servers are backed by Amazon's robust services. Sharing your game this way is free, and your game will be available through this link indefinitely!

First make sure you have logged in within GDevelop. To upload to the servers, click the Share button at the top of the editor, then pick gd.games in the list of exports.

Click Publish new version to build your game and send it to the servers. If you only want a link to share privately, turn Update game page off before publishing: your game is uploaded and you get a link for it, while the public page on gd.games keeps the version that is already online.

When the upload is finished, the link to your game is displayed on screen. You can copy it, scan the QR code to open the game on a phone, or send it through social networks. Anyone with the link can play your game, so share it with the people you want to test it.

Publishing on gd.games

gd.games is GDevelop's game hosting platform, where free games created with GDevelop can be shared and played. When Update game page is on, the version you publish becomes the one played on your game page, and the game is listed on the platform.

Tip

Every game you publish is followed on its own dashboard, which you reach with Open Game dashboard right after an export, or from the project manager under Game settings. It gathers the link to your game, its player analytics and the feedback you receive.
