This article lists any games playable on the FunKey S that support 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 for games where two or more players take turns using the device and simultaneous for games where two 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 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.
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 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), its genre, release type (licensed, unlicensed, or homebrew), native system(s), and maximum player count.
This article currently lists 116 games, with 7 of these being simultaneous and 109 being pass-and-play. Of the pass-and-play games, 70 are sports games, 7 are strategy games, 29 are tabletop games, and 3 fall under other categories. When taking into account multiple platform variants of each game there are 164 games in total, divided into the following categories:
