Quick Answers

Before You Draw

Is Goblins & Gunslingers really free to play in the browser?

Yes. The Showdown client beta is completely free — no account and no install. It streams a ~115 MB build into your browser on the first visit and caches it, so every visit after that starts in seconds.

What do I need to run the game?

Any modern browser with WebGL2: recent Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge — on desktop, tablet, or mobile. First load fetches about 115 MB; after that your browser caches it. Landscape orientation recommended.

How is this different from the account version of the game?

This is the self-contained AI demo. The account-enabled Godot edition adds persistent progress, booster packs, deck building, and online matchmaking.

Is the Showdown client on Steam or mobile app stores?

Steam, yes. Goblins & Gunslingers has been in Early Access on Steam since August 16, 2026 — free to play on Windows and macOS, with one account carrying your collection between the browser and the desktop build. iOS and Android are still in development; follow the roadmap to watch them ride.
