A side-scrolling video game is a game in which the player’s character moves primarily left-to-right (or right-to-left) across a two-dimensional plane, while the camera follows from a side perspective. These games usually emphasize platforming, combat, puzzles, exploration, or narrative progression, and can be built using 2D or 2.5D graphics across consoles, PCs, and mobile devices.
The side-scrolling game industry chain begins upstream with game engines, software tools, art assets, animation systems, sound design, and platform development kits; midstream, game studios, indie developers, and publishers design gameplay, artwork, levels, mechanics, and monetization systems, followed by coding, testing, QA, and optimization for PC, console, and mobile; downstream, digital distribution platforms, app stores, console marketplaces, and cloud gaming services deliver the games to users, supported by marketing, live-ops, updates, DLC, and community engagement, forming a complete ecosystem from creative development to user consumption.
Global indie studios, mid-sized developers, and major publishers are releasing new side-scrolling titles and sequels, with ongoing production of Metroidvania-style games, action platformers built on updated Unity/Unreal pipelines, and stylized 2D titles for Nintendo Switch and mobile. Multiple studios in China, Europe, the U.S., and Japan are building retro-inspired pixel-art games, while subscription platforms (Apple Arcade, Netflix Games, console game passes) are commissioning exclusive side-scroll titles. Additionally, several major IPs—classic arcade franchises, anime licenses, and streaming-content tie-ins—are planning side-scrolling game adaptations for 2024–2026.
