Recommendation: Users should consider itch.io a safe platform but exercise "Zero Trust" with individual downloads. We recommend using the itch.io desktop app for its sandboxing capabilities and prioritizing web-based (HTML5) versions of games when available. Always verify the developer's history and community comments before running an executable file.
itch.io is a platform for users to host, sell, and browse independent video games and digital assets. It is a central hub for the indie game development community, frequently hosting game jams and providing tools for creators to manage their own storefronts.
While itch.io is an established platform, the following functional capabilities require extra vigilance.
Security Note: Even established platforms can be abused by malicious actors.
