Game Studio — Sharing
Publish your game so anyone can play it — and republish it when you change it.
Share to play
Press Publish to Arcade in the Preview panel and your game gets its own page in the Arcade — visitors press play and it runs in the same sandbox, no download and no account needed. Great for jams, server minigame prototypes, or just showing off.
The Arcade is where a game runs, but it is no longer the only place it is listed: a published game also appears in the Community, on Projects behind the Game chip in the type row — it had a Games entry of its own until 21 September 2026 — and opening it there sends you to its Arcade page to play.
What the dialog asks for
Three things, and none of them is your file:
- Title — up to 60 characters. It starts as your project name; change it to the name players should see.
- An emoji — pick one of 14. It is your game's face in the Arcade listing, so pick one that says what the game is.
- A one-line description — up to 200 characters. One sentence on why someone should press play.
The Arcade holds a snapshot, not your live project
Publishing copies the game as it is at that moment. Editing the project afterwards does not change the published game — the Arcade keeps showing the old one until you press Publish to Arcade again.
That is deliberate: a half-finished edit can never break the game people are playing. It also answers the two questions this catches everyone with:
- "I fixed my game — why is the Arcade still showing the old one?" You have not republished.
- "Will publishing twice give me two games?" No. Republishing replaces your game's existing Arcade entry; one project has one Arcade page, and its link and play count survive.
Games run fully sandboxed: shared code can never touch accounts, storage, or other pages.
