# Distribution (/start/distribution)



How you plan to distribute your game is one of the most important decisions to make before development starts: it determines which players you can reach and how they'll play the game.

Since Pixi’VN games are built with JavaScript/TypeScript, they can natively be distributed on **any device capable of running a browser** — which already covers a huge range of platforms. Discord, for example, is a JavaScript/TypeScript project shipped as a desktop app, a web app, and a mobile app — the same is possible for your game.

Pick the distribution channel that best fits your game:
