Free cross-platform game launcher

JoiPlay is a free and intuitive app that lets you enjoy some of your favorite games in one place. It’s compatible with titles made with RPG Maker XP, VX, VX Ace, and MV, Ren’Py, TyranoBuilder, and more. With integrated cross-platform file-saving features, you can make progress and never fear losing your data.

However, the base file itself doesn’t come with the RPGs you can play. To maximize this utility app’s features, you have to acquire the titles you want to play via legal means first. At the same time, JoiPlay can’t emulate most PC programs.

Keep your games in one place

JoiPlay is a must-have program for people who create their own games or those who want to support fellow game-makers by beta-testing their software. Users only need to have the base files of the games downloaded to their devices to access them on the app. However, for non-HTML-based titles, you will need to install the RPG Maker and Ren’Py plugins.

The app itself offers a highly intuitive and modern-looking user interface that’s easy to navigate. Icons of the installed games will be shown on a menu with a search bar on top, so if you can’t find what you’re looking for right off the bat, you can manually find it instead. It also has a built-in cheat menu should you need it.

Since it supports games meant to be played on different platforms, it also offers advanced settings based on the game type. You can modify Ren’Py-centric options or configure HTML-based settings, depending on your preferences and needs. Moreover, the on-screen gamepad is straightforward and can be easily understood by any player. As for required permissions, you only need to allow storage access.

Works with different game types

Through JoiPlay, playing games made from RPG Maker editions XP to MV, Ren’Py, TyranoBuilder, and even HTML-based ones is made seamlessly possible. This launcher is compatible with most file types and also supports cross-platform data saving. However, users must remember that this app is simply a launcher—you will have to download your desired titles separately. You will also need to install specific plugins to access RPG Maker and Ren’Py games.
