Frequently asked questions

Are the games on Arcade ZIP really free?

Yes — every one of the 1,120 games is free to play in full. There is nothing to buy on this site, no premium tier and no account to create.

Do I need to download or install anything?

No. Every game runs inside your browser using HTML5, so pressing play is the whole process. Nothing is installed on your device and no plugin is required.

Can I play these games on a phone or tablet?

Many of them, yes. Games built for touch controls play well on a phone; ones designed around a keyboard and mouse are better on a laptop or desktop. Each game page shows the game at the aspect ratio its developer built it for.

Do I need an account to save my favourites?

No. Favourites and your recently played list are stored in your own browser, not on a server, so they work straight away and disappear the moment you clear your site data.

Where do the games come from?

Each game is made by an independent developer and loads from their own servers when you press play. Arcade ZIP catalogues them, writes the listings and checks that every link still works.
