200,000 wishlists Today is an amazing day for me, evan, josh and the whole Openfront community! We are here thanks to you guys and this is just as much of your guys achievement as thanks to you we have managed what only 1% of steam games manage with over 200k steam wishlists (and still another few weeks to go before launch) We are unique in the fact that we never paid for traditional advertisement, every penny we have spent has gone to people within our community as streamers, youtubers or paying you guys to make things for us. Openfront has no publisher, no marketing agency, no huge studio ba

Dev Blog #003 - How We Nuke Cheaters We go into Early Access on 17 September. A lot more people are about to be playing, which is great, but it also means more teaming in FFA, more bot accounts, and more banned players making a fresh account and coming straight back the same evening. A few of you have asked what we're actually doing about all this, so here's what we've been building. Trusted Lobbies These are lobbies you can only join if you meet certain criteria. Account age, games played, purchases, that sort of thing. At the moment, banning a cheater costs them about thirty seconds. New acc

We have a date OpenFront enters Early Access on 17 September 2026. We announced it live from Gamescom in Cologne this week, alongside the first showing of the release trailer. This post is the written version for everyone who could not be there. What you are getting OpenFront is a real-time multiplayer strategy game where hundreds of players and AI opponents fight over one shared map. You build an economy, forge alliances, break them, and launch nuclear strikes at whoever deserves it. Around 200,000 people play it every day. The Steam release brings: Windows, macOS, Linux and Steam Deck Offlin

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45637761/ec3c81742cc153b99d38dac52dc10d68b52aee2a.png4,983,758 games were played last month. No games publication has ever reviewed it. Both of those are true, and the gap between them is the reason for this post. What OpenFront is A massively multiplayer real-time strategy game. A hundred or more players carve up a world map in real time. There's no base building and no unit micro — the depth is diplomatic. Alliances form mid-match and break at the worst possible moment, usually from someone you spent twenty minutes trusting. It runs free in a browser tab, no download and n

v33 is live. The biggest update OpenFront has ever had. It's out right now at openfront.io — free, in your browser, no download and no account needed. Doomsday Clock A new battle-royale gamemode, which is not a sentence we expected to write about a strategy game. A doom zone closes in and drains troops and warships from everyone caught outside it. There's a ten-minute grace period, then it squeezes in waves. It exists because late-game stalemates were getting comfortable, and comfortable is the enemy of a good match. It's in the public rotation now. Ranked 2v2 Ranked matchmaking now runs 2v2 a
