Free browser games, ready when you are

Paxilgen is a collection of games that run right in your browser. There is nothing to install and no account to create: pick a game, press play and you are in. Every game has its own page with a short description, a how-to-play guide, a few tips and details such as its download size, so you know what to expect before it starts.

The library covers quick arcade games, puzzles, racing, shooting, adventure and dress-up games. Most work with a mouse, a keyboard or a touch screen, and larger 3D games are best on a recent device. If a game is slow, our tips for smoother browser games can help.
