Game Cities
A zombie action RPG on real city streets
Pick any city on the globe, parachute onto a real street and survive the undead with melee weapons, firearms and whatever you can scavenge.
Free games to play in your browser
No downloads, no installs, no app store: every game on GamesToPlay runs right in the browser of your computer, phone or tablet. We play each one before it gets a page, write that page ourselves and keep it up to date — so you know what you are getting before you press Play.
Games
Our catalog is small on purpose, and growing. Each game has its own page with a review, how to play, controls, requirements, tips and the latest updates.
More games are being tested and will be added here as they pass our checks.
Browse by category
Categories describe how a game plays, not only its theme, and one game can belong to several of them.
Zombie games
Hordes of the undead, scarce supplies and the constant choice between fighting and running. The best zombie games are about tension and decisions, not only about shooting.
1 game
Action RPG
Real-time combat combined with role-playing progression: experience levels, loot with rarities, skills and gear that change the way your character plays.
1 game
Survival
Games in which health is only one of your worries: stamina, hunger, sleep, noise and darkness all have to be managed to stay alive.
1 game
3D games
Full 3D worlds drawn by the browser with WebGL. They look closer to console games and run best with hardware acceleration turned on.
1 game
Multiplayer
Games where you can meet, talk to and compete with other people in real time, usually with an optional free account.
1 game
Real-world maps
Games built on real geography — actual streets, buildings and landmarks taken from open map data — so you can play in places you know.

What makes GamesToPlay different
- Hand-picked, not scraped. We do not bulk-import thousands of games from feeds. Every title is played on a computer and on a phone before it gets a page.
- Written by us. Descriptions, tips and answers are original text written for players, not copied from a store listing or from the game itself.
- Each game on its own address. Games run on their own subdomain of gamestoplay.net — for example, game-cities.gamestoplay.net — with their own guide and news, while this portal stays fast and light.
- Three languages. The portal is available in English, Portuguese and Spanish, and the Play buttons open each game in the language you are reading.
- Free to play, honestly. The site and its games are free and supported by ads. We do not list games that sell virtual currency for real money or offer real-money betting.
Tips for playing games in the browser
Modern browser games use WebGL, the same graphics technology behind online maps and 3D viewers. A few settings make a big difference to how smoothly they run:
- Keep hardware acceleration on. In Chrome and Edge it is under Settings › System. Without it, 3D games are drawn by the processor alone and become slow.
- Update your browser. Recent versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari bring faster graphics and fix bugs that can crash a game.
- Close heavy tabs. Video calls, streaming and dozens of open tabs compete with the game for memory and graphics power.
- On phones, play in landscape. Most action games are designed for a wide screen: turn off the rotation lock and accept full screen when the game offers it.
- Add games to your Home Screen. On iPhone and Android, "Add to Home Screen" opens a game like an app, without the browser bars and with more room to play.
- Mind the battery and the heat. 3D games are demanding. Plug in a laptop for long sessions and lower the graphics quality if the device gets hot.
Playing safely
Browser games run inside the browser's sandbox, so they cannot install anything on your device or read your files. We only list games that explain clearly what data they collect, and every game page says who the game is for — zombie action games, for instance, are meant for teenagers and adults. If something on a game looks wrong to you, tell us at contato@gamestoplay.net.
Frequently asked questions
Are the games really free?
Yes. You can play every game listed here for free. The portal and the games are supported by ads, and none of them sells in-game currency or items for real money.
Do I need to download or install anything?
No. The games open in the browser you already use, on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android and iOS. Some can be added to your Home Screen to open like an app.
Do I need an account?
Not on the portal: it has no sign-up at all. Some games offer an optional free account to keep your progress on their servers or to play with other people; each game page explains how it works.
Do the games work on phones and tablets?
The games we list are tested on phones and tablets as well as on computers. When a game works better on one of them, its page says so in the requirements.
How do you choose the games?
A game has to run in the browser without installing anything, be free to play, work well on current devices, respect players' privacy and never sell virtual items for real money. We play it before writing its page, and we say so when a game is made by our own team.
Can I suggest a game?
Yes — developers and players can write to contato@gamestoplay.net. We read every message and answer in English, Portuguese or Spanish.
