The GameMaker engine series behind Undertale, Hotline Miami and Spelunky is going free for commercial use on PC
Starting January 1, 2027, YoYo Games will make its GameMaker engine free for commercial PC game development, a significant shift from its previous licensing model. While console releases will still require an Enterprise license, this change aims to broaden accessibility for indie developers who have used the tool for titles like Undertale and Hotline Miami.
