Patch, a platform for making and playing browser games and PC game mods, opened to everyone on November 9, 2026, CEO Rehan Sheikh (@rehan_shei) announced in a post on X. Patch, run by New Save Labs, Inc., offers creators a Windows desktop app, a command-line tool called pch, an MCP server and a public HTTP API; the CLI and MCP server hook into whichever coding agent a creator already runs.
According to Patch's documentation, installing pch adds Patch's tools to Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, letting an agent search and remix public projects, pull assets, and test and publish a game. Browser games play on patch.gg with nothing to install; mods need Patch Desktop and the player's own copy of the game.
The official @patch_gg account launched an asset library called "patch toolbox" alongside it, describing more than 50,000 free, open-source assets. Patch's public API reported 59,148 on November 11, including about 30,700 sprites and 21,500 3D models, almost all under CC0 or CC BY 4.0 licenses.
There is no paid plan. Patch's terms, last updated November 6, say "Nothing on Patch costs money today, and Patch pays nobody," and promise revised terms before makers start earning.
Why it matters: Patch treats the coding agent, not the engine, as where a small game starts, and wraps hosting, asset search, remixing and review around it. For people already building browser games with Claude Code or Codex, it is a ready place to publish. AIGamer already lists three open-source tools from the same team: pixelfx, anymove and trompe.
Caveat: "open source" has limits here. Patch's terms say new repos start under the Patch license, which allows remixing on Patch but not taking someone else's work elsewhere without permission, unless the maker picks a license such as MIT. We found no public source code for the platform itself. Publishing needs a test in Patch Desktop, which runs only on Windows; Mac users can join a waitlist. Mods of games made by other companies must be free and ship without the game's files, and the terms say this isn't permission from the game's owner. The catalog is small: 89 public projects on November 11, most from Patch's own account. AIGamer hasn't tested the app, CLI or MCP server.
Patch's install guide says Windows may warn about the installer until Microsoft finishes reviewing the new publisher, which it expects to take one to two weeks.
