Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about playing, safety and what's coming next.
What is pvpgames.io?
A home for free, real-time multiplayer games that run right in your browser. Pick a game, choose a nickname, and play against people from around the world in seconds.
Do I need an account?
No. You play as a guest. We create a guest session automatically so the game servers know it's you between rounds. You never enter an email, password or your age to play.
Are some players bots?
Yes, and we tell you. Arenas include AI-controlled players so there is always someone to play with. They are marked AI on leaderboards, never count toward players online, and never appear in high scores. Their names are picked from a curated list and never belong to real people.
Can other players message me?
No. There is no chat, voice or direct messaging. The only thing other players see is your nickname, and every nickname is checked before it appears in a game.
What data do you keep about me?
A single first-party cookie holds your guest session so you stay signed in as the same guest. We don't ask for personal details, don't run ad trackers, and never pass your session to the games themselves.
Why does the game run inside a frame?
Every game is served from its own separate domain and runs in a locked-down sandbox. It can't read this site, your cookies or your session. The bar above the game (Report, Fullscreen, Exit) always belongs to pvpgames.io, not to the game.
How do you stop cheating?
Our servers run every match. Your browser only sends your moves (where you steer and whether you boost), so a modified game client can't give itself extra length or speed.
How do I report a problem?
While playing, press Report in the bar above the game and choose a reason. Reports go to our moderators. If someone may be in danger, choose “A child may be at risk”, and contact local emergency services for anything urgent.
What is Forge?
Forge is our upcoming AI game creator: describe a game in plain words and it builds a real multiplayer game you can play and share. Every game is reviewed by automated checks and by people before it's published. Learn more.
Which devices and browsers work?
Any recent version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari on desktop, laptop, tablet or phone. You can play with a mouse, touch, keyboard or gamepad.
Where are the terms and privacy policy?
They will be published here before public launch. Until then, this is a preview build.
