  2. Console support in Godot
  3. ========================
  4. Official support
  5. ----------------
  6. Godot currently does not officially support consoles
  7. (except the Xbox One using UWP).
  8. The reasons for this are:
  9. * To develop for consoles, one must be licensed as a company.
  10. As an open source project, Godot does not have such a legal figure.
  11. * Console SDKs are secret and covered by non-disclosure agreements.
  12. Even if we could get access to them, we could not publish
  13. the platform-specific code under an open source license.
  14. * Consoles require specialized hardware to develop for, so regular individuals
  15. can't create games for them anyway.
  16. However, it is still possible to port your games to consoles thanks to
  17. services provided by third-party companies.
  18. Third-party support
  19. -------------------
  20. Console ports of Godot are offered by third-party companies (which have
  21. ported Godot on their own). These companies also offer publishing of
  22. your games to various consoles.
  23. Following is the list of providers:
  24. * `Lone Wolf Technology <http://www.lonewolftechnology.com/>`_ offers
  25. Switch, PS4 and Xbox One porting and publishing of Godot games.
