MonoGame is an open-source C#/.NET framework for building cross-platform games, re-implementing Microsoft's discontinued XNA Framework. It provides game loop, 2D/3D rendering, audio, input, and content pipeline building blocks rather than a full engine with an editor.
Use cases
- build a 2D indie game in C#
- create a cross-platform game for PC, mobile, and consoles
- port an XNA game to modern platforms
- write a game engine from scratch with low-level building blocks
- make a 3D game with OpenGL or DirectX in .NET
- develop a Stardew Valley-style game
When to choose
- you want code-first game development in C# without a heavyweight editor
- you need to target many platforms including consoles from one codebase
- you are familiar with XNA's API and want a maintained successor
When to avoid
- you want a full engine with a visual scene editor like Unity or Unreal
- you need built-in physics, networking, or asset editors out of the box
- your team prefers non-.NET languages
