THE OVERVIEW

About Xonotic

Xonotic is a free, open-source arena first-person shooter built around fast movement and weapons with distinct primary and secondary attacks. Players can choose familiar competitive modes such as Deathmatch, Capture the Flag and Clan Arena, alongside alternatives including Nexball, Freeze Tag and multiplayer racing. The game includes official maps, a map editor and a customizable heads-up display, so players can adjust both what they play and the information shown during a match. Its optional XonStat integration records results and weapon statistics; the project says tracking is opt-in and does not require a login. The official archive includes Windows, Linux and macOS binaries and can be unpacked and run without a separate installer. The current download page lists at least 4 GB RAM and hardware-accelerated OpenGL 2.1, but does not specify a CPU model or an installed-storage requirement; the download archive size should not be mistaken for disk-space requirements. The project warns that versions older than 0.8.6 have a security issue involving malicious server administrators, so players should use the current supported release. These are documented features and requirements rather than our own performance or gameplay tests.

Xonotic official setup and troubleshooting guide

Read official FAQ confirming that the archive includes binaries for Linux, Windows and macOS and is unpacked before launching the platform executable. Package-manager distributions and Flatpak are separate routes; Flatpak uses more storage. No unsupported CPU, storage, frame-rate or native Apple Silicon claim is inferred.
