What we believe

Three rules.
No exceptions.

Rule 01

The engine agnostic creed

Warpdrive is a level playing field. Web engines like Scratch, TurboWarp and GB Studio and native engines like Unity, GameMaker and Godot are treated as absolute equals. Web games are not sidelined into a corner of the store. They get the same system level optimization, the same integration, and the same shelf space as a compiled binary.

ScratchTurboWarpGB StudioGDevelop UnityGameMakerGodotAnything else

Web on the left, native on the right, no hierarchy between them.

Rule 02

Empowering the next gen

This is a stage for the developers nobody else is building for. A passionate crowd of young indie creators whose games currently live in a browser tab or a pocket project folder. Warpdrive turns them into real console experiences, with a real store page, a real disc, and a real audience.

Rule 03

Buy once, play everywhere

Buy a game once, digital or physical, and your Rotur account binds it to your universal library. Move from the TV to any handheld in the lineup without paying twice. Saves follow you. Nobody gets charged again for owning the same game on a different shape of plastic.

Community projects, still very much in progress

Under Construction.

Meet the mascot

Banks.

A raccoon in a purple bandana. He owns no other clothes fashionable enough to flaunt. Lazy, gluttonous, lurking, stalking. He spends his days eating, drinking, sleeping and gaming in alarming excess. He is a chud. We love him. Drawn by Rigby, @ToastGh0ast.

What Warpdrive is

Built different.
On purpose.

Open source runtime

Web games run through Chromium with WebGPU. Native ARM binaries land later for full performance titles. Either way you pick the engine, from Unity or GameMaker to Scratch, GB Studio and GDevelop, with dozens of tools in between.

Real culture

We grew up on Newgrounds, itch.io and Game Jolt, and on PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii modding. Open firmware, moddable frontend, homebrew launcher out of the box. Warpdrive would not exist without console modding, so it ships ready for it.

Physical media

Full size DVDs in purple collector cases. The home console has a disc drive for physical games. It exists for collectors and for anyone without decent Wi-Fi. Install the disc to storage and it plays without it.

Two tiers

One family.
Two form factors.

Every handheld runs the same silicon so a mobile build is a single target. The home console steps up a tier for the television, with faster memory and a stronger GPU, while staying close enough architecturally that porting stays boring. Both play the same library.

Handheld lineup

Unified specs.
Diverse forms.

Every handheld in the ecosystem ships with the same processor and the same LPDDR4X memory. Optimize your handheld build once and it performs identically on every device in the line. The shells, the screens and the layouts change. The silicon does not.

Shared SoC across every handheld we make
LPDDR4X memory, same configuration everywhere
One build target, no per device profiling
Form factor freedom, different sizes, layouts and price points

Home console

The powerhouse.
Built for the TV.

The home console targets the big screen, so it moves up a performance tier. It swaps the handheld memory for faster, higher bandwidth LPDDR5 and carries a noticeably stronger GPU to hold higher resolutions and steadier framerates. Complex scenes stop fighting the memory bus.

8GB LPDDR5, more bandwidth for busy scenes
Adreno 643 GPU, comfortable at higher resolutions
Disc drive, physical games and collector cases
Comparable architecture, so cross porting stays simple

Under the hood

Serious hardware.

Home console silicon, broken down. Industrial parts, long availability, no surprise end of life.

OSCustom Armbian build

ProcessorQualcomm QCS6490

The QCS6490 is an industrial grade 6nm SoC with an octa core Kryo 670 CPU. It is designed for always on edge devices and has more than enough muscle for indie games. Its consumer counterpart is the Snapdragon 778G, so think Linux gaming performance on industrial silicon: stable clocks, low thermals, and long term availability.

GPUAdreno 643

The Adreno 643 supports Vulkan 1.1 and OpenGL ES 3.2. The real play is WebGPU through Chromium, which hands developers a modern GPU API with compute shaders and instanced rendering, plus enough headroom to push 2D hard and run 3D at respectable framerates. Hardware video decode covers media heavy menus and cutscenes. 4K at 60Hz is on the table if you know how to optimize.

Memory8GB LPDDR5

8GB of LPDDR5 shared between system and GPU. No dedicated VRAM, but the bandwidth is enormous next to what indie games actually ask for, and it is the main reason the home console pulls ahead of the LPDDR4X handhelds on busy scenes. Room to run your game, the social overlay and background downloads at once without choking.

Storage0-256GB eMMC / Micro SD

eMMC onboard from 0 to 256GB, plus a Micro SD slot for expansion. Install disc games to storage and play without the disc later. The OS is light enough to leave most of the drive for your library, and SD cards hot swap so you can carry a collection between units.

Graphics APIVulkan / WebGPU / Wayland

WebGPU is the primary path for web based games. Modern, fast, cross engine. Vulkan is there for native ARM titles that want direct GPU access. Wayland composites the dashboard. Three layers, each doing one job, no bloat in between.

MediaPhysical and digital

An 8x DVD drive reads full size 4.7GB discs in custom purple collector cases. Install once and play forever. The disc is proof of ownership, not a requirement, and buying it registers the game to your Rotur library so it also works on your handheld. Both paths are first class.

Operating systemCustom Armbian derivative

A custom Armbian based Linux build, stripped down for Warpdrive, tweakers and modders alike. Open firmware, fully auditable and fully moddable. The dashboard is a web app you can theme and hack, and the homebrew launcher ships out of the box. It is your console.

Process node6nm

6nm fabrication means good power efficiency and low heat. No fan needed in most scenarios. The chip sips power next to older nodes, which keeps the console quiet, cool and compact. Industrial silicon also means long production availability. If you want the honest version: we were told 6nm is good, and we are repeating it with confidence.

Collector's edition

Hold your games.

Purple collector cases

Full size DVD / 4.7GB per disc

Custom cases / a game case that matches the developer's vision

Install once, play forever, no disc needed after

Around $5 a unit to produce. Cheap to make, lovely to own.

A disc run is granted to our favorite titles

Buying the disc unlocks it on your handheld too

Cross-device ecosystem

One account.
Every device.

Rotur bridges the hardware gap. The cloud layer syncs your library, your saves and your cross-play data, so the home console version and the handheld version feel like two halves of the same thing.

Universal library

Digital or disc, one purchase binds the game to your account. It shows up on every Warpdrive device you sign into.

Saves that follow you

Put the TV down mid run and pick it back up on a handheld. Save files sync through the same account, no cables involved.

Cross-play by default

Handheld players and console players sit in the same lobby. The networking API does not care which box you booted from.

Get social.
Make a friend.

The runtime, the dev tools and the social layer are open source. No gatekept internals, no hidden bloat. Fork it, audit it, break it, fix it. The whole platform is there to inspect and contribute to. Moddability is not a feature we bolted on, it is the foundation.
