Frequently Asked Questions
What is OpenTTD?
OpenTTD is an open-source reimplementation of Chris Sawyer’s 1995 classic Transport Tycoon Deluxe, developed since 2004. It plays like the original turned up: the same company-vs-company transport economics, plus modern conveniences like bigger maps, better signalling, clone tools, and downloadable content. The engine is GPL-2.0; this build uses the free OpenGFX graphics set, so it requires no files from the commercial game.
Is this the full game in the browser?
Yes. The embedded WebAssembly build is the complete OpenTTD — single-player worlds, AI competitors, the scenario editor, and save/load all work. It is compiled from the open-source codebase by the community site hosting it and embedded here unmodified.
Where do my saves go?
Saves are written to your browser’s storage on your own device, exactly like a local copy of the game — nothing is uploaded. The host site also provides save import and export buttons if you want to move a save between browsers or machines.
Can I play multiplayer?
This embed is set up for single-player against the AI companies. OpenTTD does support online multiplayer servers, but joining them from the web build is limited — for reliable multiplayer the desktop version is the way to go. Single-player alone offers dozens of hours per map.
