OpenFront is a massively multiplayer real-time strategy game where hundreds of real players battle simultaneously on a single shared world map. Build your economy, forge alliances, crush your enemies, and launch nuclear strikes — all in real time.

With over 1 million monthly active players on the web version, OpenFront comes to Steam with faster launches and better performance, Steam achievements, and exclusive cosmetics.

CONQUER THE WORLD

Every match starts the same way: you control a small patch of territory on a map shared by hundreds of other players. From there, it's up to you. Expand aggressively into undefended land. Pressure weaker neighbours. Accumulate gold, build your military, and push toward dominance — before someone else does the same to you.

DEEP STRATEGY. SIMPLE TO PICK UP.

OpenFront rewards smart play over raw aggression. Managing your economy is just as important as managing your army — overextend and you'll collapse, underinvest and you'll be steamrolled. The game layers genuine strategic depth onto controls anyone can learn in minutes:

• Expand by directing your forces into unclaimed territory and weaker nations

• Build ports, cities, and missile defences to strengthen your borders

• Trade and negotiate — in-game ally requests let you broker truces with neighbours

• Escalate from conventional warfare to nuclear strikes as the match reaches its endgame

• Naval warfare adds a second front — control the seas to project power across the map

Multiple world maps each demand a different approach. Europe's choke points reward diplomacy and timing. Asia's open terrain favours rapid expansion. The global map brings full ocean control into play. Every map is a different puzzle.

MAKE IT YOUR OWN

Cosmetics in OpenFront are visible to every player in the match — your territory is your canvas. Equip territory patterns that change the look of every tile you control, from clean minimalist designs to full-scale meme skins. Fly one of hundreds of real-world flags. Personalise your profile with unlockable cosmetics earned through play or the in-game shop.

OpenFront will never be pay-to-win. Every cosmetic is visual only.

CLANS AND COMPETITIVE PLAY

OpenFront has an active grassroots competitive community. Clan tags are more than cosmetic — in team modes, players carrying the same tag are automatically fielded together, turning organised clans into genuine competitive units. Clan wins, losses, and win rates are tracked globally and compared on leaderboards.

OpenFront Masters is the official competitive organisation, running monthly cash-prized tournaments with referees, anti-cheat rules, and a Liquipedia presence. With over 10,000 members in the OFM Discord and a dedicated spectator format built for streaming, competitive OpenFront is already an established scene, not an afterthought.

BUILT WITH THE COMMUNITY

OpenFront started as an open-source project shaped entirely by player feedback, and that ethos carries into the Steam release. The public development roadmap is live on GitHub, updated regularly with what's being built and what's coming next. Bug reports, feature requests, and even code contributions from the community have directly shaped the game you're playing today.

Jump into the Discord, follow the roadmap, and help build what comes next.

EARLY ACCESS

OpenFront launches on Steam in Early Access with a fully playable, polished core game — the same experience that has driven 1 million monthly players on the web. Early Access funds continued development including:

• Mobile app (iOS and Android)

• Expanded clan system with native leaderboards

• New cosmetics, territory skins, and subscriber perks

• Additional maps and game modes

• Performance and observability improvements

• Steam Deck optimisation

The full roadmap is public. You can see exactly what's being worked on, vote on priorities, and track progress in real time.

PLAY ANYWHERE

OpenFront runs natively in the browser with no download required — the Steam version shares the same servers, the same players, and full cross-platform multiplayer. Start a match on Steam and play against someone on their phone. The community is one pool, wherever you play.

WHY STEAM THEN?

You may be looking at the above going, well why would I buy steam if i can play online for free? Buying on steam helps us fund the next cycle of Openfronts development and although we have some cool bits planned for Steam such as 

• Achievements * Delayed due to a steam bug we are battling, will be in the next day or two!

• Offline play 

• Asset Loading which should provide improved performance

• Unique Cosmetics available only to steam purchasers 

• A unique discord rank to show your support in our games discord

• 1 month subscription worth 9,99 

Do not buy steam if you are expecting a materially different experience or for features you wouldn't get on the web, there will never be gameplay on the steam version that we don't also plan on releasing online too, that wouldn't be fair and would be a part of forgetting where we came from, but if you do decide to purchase and support us, thank you!
