đź“Ą Downloads
The Unvanquished launcher will download and update the game data with bittorrent, install and configure the game properly for you and keep it up to date. The launcher is free software as well. Linux users can also install a Flatpak.
The downloaded content is stored by the launcher in XDG_DATA_HOME on Linux, Program Files on Windows, and in Library/Application Support on macOS. See the Game locations page on the wiki for details.
- Downloads for Linux i686, Linux armhf and Linux arm64 are only available in the universal zip (see Other downloads below.)
- Prebuilt engine for FreeBSD is not provided, but it's possible to build it (the game code will run over Linuxulator), see the wiki for details.
- Prebuilt arm64 engine for macOS is not provided but it's possible to build it (the game code will run over Rosetta 2), see the wiki for details.

✏️ NetRadiant level editor
The level editor for Unvanquished can be downloaded on the NetRadiant's website.
Other editors like DarkRadiant or GtkRadiant may work but are less “ready to go”. See the wiki for details.
đź“Ą Other downloads
The universal zip and the torrent file is for advanced users or people wanting to install an headless server. This is the only option for second-tier plaforms like 32-bit x86 Linux or ARM Linux. Because your operating system will not know you installed the game it will not be possible to use the server list from this website to join games (in-game server list will work), neither join games from the chat. Your operating system or unarchiver may not extract the game in a way it can work. The game may not run on macOS if you don't know what “application translocation” means and how to enable it for the game by hand.
- Universal Zip — for archiving purpose, server owners or advanced users.
- Torrent — to help seed the game for the launcher,
- FOSS Torrents page.
- Demo files — for benchmarks.
Some downloads are mirrored on IndieDB, if you have trouble downloading from other sources this is also a trusted source:
🛠️ If you need to build it
If you need to build the game to run it on an unsupported system (like a native FreeBSD or native arm64 macOS engine, or for a very old Linux distribution…) or to package it for a software distribution, you only need to build the Dæmon engine. You may also want to build the Unvanquished game code if you want to make a mod.
You'll find more details about how to build the game or the engine in the wiki.
