PixiJS

MIT 2D WebGPU/WebGL renderer, not a game engine

Graphics & 3D / Renderers · OSS/MIT · 48.1k

What's Good

MIT. Scene graph, assets, interaction, filters, WebGPU/WebGL. pixi.js 8.x. Showcase names Subway Surfers, LEGO City Adventures, Cartoon Network GameBox. No hosted pricing page — Open Collective is optional.

The Catch

A renderer, not a game engine. Bring physics, audio, scenes, netcode. If you wanted Phaser, this is the wrong layer.

Verdict

The 2D WebGPU/WebGL renderer. Not Phaser. Not a product.
