Forge
A cross-platform graphics framework for building and extending game engines across PC, mobile, and consoles.
What is Forge?
The Forge is a cross-platform graphics framework that provides core building blocks for developing, extending, or modernizing game engines. It solves the problem of supporting multiple gaming platforms—from PC and mobile to consoles—with a unified codebase, enabling developers to focus on high-level engine features rather than low-level platform specifics.
Game engine developers, graphics programmers, and studios needing to port or build engines across Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Steam Deck, and consoles like PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch.
Developers choose The Forge for its extensive platform support, performance-oriented GPU-driven architecture, and proven use in shipped titles (e.g., Starfield, Hades, Warzone Mobile), reducing the complexity of multi-platform engine development.
