Today we have compiled a list of the best JavaScript (and TypeScript) game engines and game frameworks (and a few miscellaneous game development options) for game development in 2025. This is the third in a series of posts exploring the game engine options available for the most popular programming languages. We have a Python Game Engine resource here, Lua Game Engines here, Haxe Game Engines here and a C/C++ Game Engine resource here, with guides for other programming languages in the works.
