This article lists any games playable on the FunKey S that support [[w:Hotseat (multiplayer mode)|hotseat multiplayer]]. While both homebrew and licensed games will be listed for the sake of completeness, only freeware homebrew games will have linked-to download pages, with licensed games having links to their Wikipedia pages, where applicable. Hotseat multiplayer games are split between into two lists: [[#pass-and-play|pass-and-play]] for games where two or more players take turns using a controller and [[#simultaneous|simultaneous]] for games where two or more players use one controller simultaneously. Games that only use multiplayer modes other than hotseat, whether via the use of multiple controllers or a link cable, will not be listed as these capabilities are not forms of hotseat multiplayer and cannot be used on the FunKey S.

To ensure the accuracy of these lists as much as possible, a number of inclusion criteria are being used:
Games must have at least one section, minigame, or mode designed to be played by two or more players synchronously or asynchronously using one controller on one console. Games without any intended form of multiplayer or with a multiplayer mode that requires two or more controllers and/or consoles cannot be included.
Games must be in English or playable without understanding another language. This criteria is used to ensure that the multiplayer features of a game can be ascertained during the research process.
While the editors have attempted to make these lists as comprehensive as possible, there are likely several games that may need to be removed or added based on the above criteria. If you know of any such games, feel free to modify the lists yourself or inform the wiki admin.
List contents
The games on this page are divided into pass-and-play and simultaneous lists based on whether their multiplayer mode(s) can be played asynchronously or synchronously, respectively. For the ease of navigation, the games within the pass-and-play list are further subdivided based on theme (currently game shows, sports, strategy, or tabletop). Each entry on one of the lists has a game's name, a link to an its Wikipedia article (in the case of licensed games) or download page (in the case of homebrew games), release type (licensed, unlicensed, or homebrew), native system(s), and maximum player count. Game Boy Advance games that are highlighted in yellow are not emulated accurately in the default FunKey S GBA emulator, so should be played with an alternate emulator instead.

Of the pass-and-play games, 27 are arcade games, 12 are game show games, 17 are pinball games, 6 are platformer games, 111 are sports games, 12 are strategy games, and 62 are tabletop games.
