Drop

Drop is an innovative open-source project designed to serve as a self-hosted alternative to proprietary digital game distribution platforms like Steam and Epic Games Store. Its core mission is to provide a better experience for DRM-free games, giving users complete control over their game libraries and how they are presented and distributed. The platform allows for rich metadata editing, enabling users to customize game information with Markdown, images, and custom icons.

Beyond just library management, Drop includes a fully featured store where users can discover, filter, and organize games into collections. It supports flexible authentication methods, including simple and Single Sign-On (SSO), with plans for more advanced features like SCIM. A significant advantage is its ability to automatically import game metadata from popular databases like IGDB, GiantBomb, and PCGamingWiki, streamlining the setup process. Additionally, administrators can publish news articles that appear both in-browser and within the client, keeping users informed and engaged. This makes Drop an ideal solution for individuals, communities, or small developers looking for a customizable and independent platform for their DRM-free game content.
