Which Trading Card Games Does Pixelborn Support and How Are They Played?
Updated
Pixelborn supports four named trading card games, split across two play styles: Cyberpunk TCG and the Naruto Card Game run on a fully automated simulator with online matchmaking, while Disney Lorcana and the One Piece Card Game (OPTCG) are played through webcam ranked games. Other community-supported TCGs are also listed on the site. Which mode you use depends on the game, so check the table below before you download or open the browser client.
Games and Their Play Modes
| Game | Play mode | What that means in practice |
|---|---|---|
| Cyberpunk TCG | Fully automated simulator | Rules automation and online matchmaking; the client handles game logic |
| Naruto Card Game | Fully automated simulator | Same automated rules and matchmaking as Cyberpunk TCG |
| Disney Lorcana | Webcam ranked games (Pixelborn Connect) | You play against opponents over webcam; the client supports ranked play |
| One Piece Card Game (OPTCG) | Webcam games (Pixelborn Connect) | Webcam-based matches; the site lists OPTCG under webcam games |
| Other TCGs | Community-supported | Availability depends on the community; the site points to its Discord for details |
The key distinction is automation. In the fully automated simulator, the software enforces the rules, so you can test decks and play ranked matches without manually tracking game state. In webcam modes, the physical or digital cards are visible on camera and the client provides the matchmaking and ranked structure rather than full rules enforcement.
How Each Mode Is Accessed
Pixelborn describes three products, and the game you want determines which one you need:
- Pixelborn (fully automated simulator) — available on PC, Mac, and now Android, and also playable in a browser. This is the entry point for Cyberpunk TCG and the Naruto Card Game.
- Pixelborn Pulse — a semi-automated simulator with downloads for PC and Mac.
- Pixelborn Connect — webcam ranked games with downloads for PC and Mac. This is where Disney Lorcana and One Piece Card Game webcam play sits.
- Pixelborn Live — score and stats tracking, useful alongside the other modes.
So a Lorcana or One Piece player should look at Connect rather than the automated simulator, while a Cyberpunk or Naruto player wants the main simulator client. If you are unsure which client fits your game, the games list on the site is the quickest check.
What You Can Do Once You're In
Across the supported games, the site describes these activities:
- Test decks before committing to a build
- Play ranked matches
- Track your score and stats through Pixelborn Live
- Join the community through the Pixelborn Discord, which the site lists as the place for community-supported TCGs and general coordination
Deck testing and ranked play are described for the automated simulator; webcam ranked games are described for Connect. Stats tracking is presented as its own product, so expect to use it alongside whichever play mode you choose rather than as a replacement.
Practical Notes Before You Start
- Pick the client by game, not by platform. The automated simulator covers PC, Mac, Android, and browser, but Connect (webcam) is listed for PC and Mac only. If you are on Android and want Lorcana or One Piece webcam play, the site does not list an Android option for that mode.
- Expect different experiences per game. Automated play enforces rules for you; webcam play relies on players and cameras. The site itself notes that game-specific play modes may differ, so treat the table above as the starting point and confirm details for your specific game.
- Community-supported TCGs need a check. The site says "more TCGs" are available through community support but does not enumerate them, so the Discord is the place to confirm whether your game is active.
The site does not publish pricing details in the material available here, so do not assume any mode is free or requires no login—verify on the download or browser pages before committing.
