As the gift that keeps on giving, Chromecast is also compatible with a number of game apps for hobbyists and serious gamers alike. Join us as we take a look at the best Chromecast games.
Chromecast games are more often than not very simple and fun. They tend to be designed based on classic games and have a slightly more “retro” feel.
Removed Stadia from this article, as Google announced that Stadia will shut down on January 18, 2023. You will likely be able to move games you own on Stadia to PC through Ubisoft Connect.

It’s always a good idea to check the compatibility of cast-enabled apps before downloading, as some apps aren’t compatible with every platform. Some may only be compatible with Android, some with iOS and some with both. Additionally, some apps have minimum requirements for iOS and Android versions, so be sure to check those out when you download on the app store or play store.
Wordcast is a fun game with multiplayer mode. Very similar to the classic game Scrabble, this is a game in which you need to make words. You use your phone as a control and can play in more than 20 different languages. You can cast Wordcast to your big-screen TV from your Android phone. Unfortunately, Wordcast is unavailable on iOS.
Tricky Titans is a fun Chromecast game with multiplayer mode. The concept is that you play as a titan and compete with your friends (fellow titans) to basically cause the most chaos. It’s free, which is a bonus, and you will either love or hate the lack of in-app purchases.
Just Dance Now is a Chromecast game to help you keep fit, have fun or get everyone in the party mood. You hold your phone in your hand (sounds a tad dangerous depending on the kind of moves you’re doing, so exercise caution) and follow the dancer on the TV to get points. There’s no limit to the number of people who can join in as long as they’re in the same room.
If you’ve ever wanted to go hunting for real, there’s an environmentally friendly alternative. In Deer Hunter, you hunt big-game animals around the world to win trophies. You can hunt on plains, underwater and in the mountains to name a few places. There are a few subscription options, and the Google Play Store states that you can make in-app purchases to buy extra items.
The age-old cure for study-avoidant kids — turn it into a game. Math Arcade could definitely prove useful as an alternative for reciting the times tables. The app is free to download and use, but the Google Play Store mentions that in-app products are available to purchase for $1.99 each. Chromecast or Android TV are a requirement to use this app.
If you’re looking for something with a little more of an old-school vibe, Alien Invaders might be worth a go. It’s a really easy game and your task is simple — protect our planet from alien invaders seeking global domination and save the world! No pressure there, then. Up to five people can play Alien Invaders at a time.
In this multiplayer game, you draw pictures and other players need to guess as many words as possible. Game features include different tools for drawing and adult and kid modes. Good fun for parties or to break up a lazy Sunday afternoon, the only drawback is that DrawParty is currently only available on Android devices.
Another Chromecast drawing game inspired by Pictionary, PictoParty is a paid alternative to DrawParty. PictoParty has an impressive rating of 4.4 on the Play Store — it allows for more artistic license by letting you add new words and share your funniest drawings to social media.
GamingCast is a bundle of classic games like Snake and Tetrominoes, which is inspired by Tetris. If you’re longing for the nostalgia of the ‘90s or the time you got your first Nokia, GamingCast might be a welcome addition to game night. Download GamingCast on the Google Play Store.
