Pixelborn is an online trading card game (TCG) simulator that runs in your browser or as a download on PC, Mac, and Android. It offers full rules automation and online matchmaking for the Cyberpunk TCG and the Naruto Card Game, plus webcam-based ranked play for Disney Lorcana and the One Piece Card Game. It suits players who want to test decks, play ranked matches, and track stats without needing a physical opponent in the same room.

What games does Pixelborn support?

Pixelborn lists four named games, with different levels of support:

The site also mentions "other community-supported trading card games" and points players to its Discord community, so the roster can extend beyond the four named titles.

What are the different play modes?

Pixelborn separates its offering into distinct products, each aimed at a different way of playing:

• Fully Automated Simulator — the core product. Rules are automated and matchmaking is online, so you can play Cyberpunk TCG and the Naruto Card Game without manually enforcing rules. Available in browser, on PC, Mac, and Android.
• Pixelborn Pulse — a semi-automated simulator for PC and Mac. Rules enforcement is partial, which typically suits players who want more manual control or are testing interactions the automation may not cover.
• Pixelborn Connect — webcam ranked games for PC and Mac. This is how Disney Lorcana and One Piece Card Game play happens: you play with physical cards over webcam against ranked opponents.
• Pixelborn Live — score and stats tracking, so you can follow your results across play.

How do you get started?

1. Choose your mode. If you want Cyberpunk TCG or Naruto Card Game with automated rules, use the Fully Automated Simulator. If you want Lorcana or One Piece, you'll need the webcam route via Pixelborn Connect.
2. Pick your platform. The automated simulator runs in a browser or as a download for PC, Mac, or Android. Pulse and Connect are listed as PC and Mac downloads.
3. Create your account and join matchmaking. The automated simulator includes online matchmaking; Connect is described as ranked webcam play.
4. Track your results. Use Pixelborn Live to follow your score and stats.
5. Join the Discord. The site directs players to its Discord community, which is the practical place to find opponents, event info, and support for community-run games.

What should you check before committing?

• Hardware for webcam play. Lorcana and One Piece run through webcam ranked games, so you need a working camera and a way to show your physical cards clearly.
• Platform match. Android is listed for the fully automated simulator only; Pulse and Connect are listed for PC and Mac.
• Game availability. Only Cyberpunk TCG and Naruto are described as fully automated. If your main game is Lorcana or One Piece, expect a webcam format rather than a fully simulated one.
• Pricing and account requirements. The site's available material does not state pricing or login terms, so confirm those on the site before relying on any particular access model.

In short: Pixelborn is a good fit if you play Cyberpunk TCG or Naruto and want automated, matchmade online play, or if you play Lorcana or One Piece and want ranked webcam games with stats tracking. If you need full automation for Lorcana or One Piece specifically, the site's current description doesn't promise that.

Pixelborn is not one product but a family of play modes, and the right choice depends on two things: which game you want to play and how much rule enforcement you want. The Fully Automated Simulator handles rules and matchmaking for you and is the pick for Cyberpunk TCG and the Naruto Card Game. Pixelborn Pulse is a semi-automated simulator for players who want to manage more of the game themselves. Pixelborn Connect is for webcam ranked play, including Disney Lorcana and the One Piece Card Game. All three are listed for PC and Mac, and the automated simulator is also available on Android.

The three modes side by side

A fourth tool, Pixelborn Live, is listed separately for tracking score and stats. It is not a way to play, so treat it as a companion to whichever mode you use.

How to choose

Pick the Fully Automated Simulator if…

You are playing Cyberpunk TCG or the Naruto Card Game and want the software to enforce the rules. The site describes full rules automation and online matchmaking, which means you can test decks and play matches without adjudicating interactions yourself. It is also the only mode with a stated Android option and a stated in-browser option, so it is the most flexible if you are not on a desktop.

Pick Pixelborn Pulse if…

You want a simulator where you are not fully hands-off. The page labels Pulse as semi-automated but does not name which games it supports, so confirm the specific game inside the app before committing to it as your main mode.

Pick Pixelborn Connect if…

Your game is Disney Lorcana or the One Piece Card Game. Those titles are described as webcam ranked games, which means play runs through a camera feed rather than a fully automated engine. Expect to manage physical or manual elements yourself; the value here is ranked matchmaking, not rule enforcement.

Practical notes before you start

• Check the game first, then the mode. The page ties Cyberpunk TCG and Naruto to full automation, and Lorcana and OPTCG to webcam ranked play. If your game is not one of those four, the site refers to "other community-supported trading card games" without naming them, so verify support in the app or the Discord community.
• Platform matters. Pulse and Connect are listed for PC and Mac only. If you play on Android, the automated simulator is the mode with stated support.
• Stats are separate. If tracking score matters to you, Pixelborn Live is the listed tool for that regardless of which play mode you choose.
• Pricing and account requirements are not stated on the page. The source title references playing free, but the page evidence does not detail pricing, payment, or login terms for each mode, so do not assume identical access conditions across all three.

The simplest rule: automated for Cyberpunk and Naruto, webcam ranked for Lorcana and One Piece, and Pulse when you want a semi-automated middle ground.

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

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.

You can start playing Pixelborn in a browser or by downloading a client for PC, Mac, or Android. The right entry point depends on the game and mode you want: the fully automated simulator covers Cyberpunk TCG and the Naruto Card Game; webcam ranked play covers Disney Lorcana and the One Piece Card Game; and a separate stats tool tracks your scores. The site presents these as distinct products, so pick the one that matches your game before downloading.

Choose your mode first

Pixelborn is organized into three named products, each with its own download links for PC and Mac:

The site also notes that "other community-supported trading card games" are available through Pixelborn, so if your game isn't listed above, check the Discord community before assuming it's unsupported.

Play in the browser

The homepage offers a "Play in Browser" option alongside the downloads. This is the fastest way to try the fully automated simulator without installing anything. Use it when you want to test a deck or jump into a match quickly; switch to a downloaded client if you want the dedicated desktop or mobile experience.

Download for PC or Mac

1. Go to pixelborn.app.
2. Find the product section for the mode you want (Fully Automated Simulator, Pulse, or Connect).
3. Select "Download for PC" or "Download for Mac" under that product.
4. Install and launch the client, then sign in and look for matchmaking (automated modes) or webcam game lobbies (Connect).

Expected result: the automated simulator handles the rules for you, while Connect requires you to set up a webcam and play ranked games against opponents.

Android availability

The site states the fully automated simulator is "now on Android." If you're on a phone or tablet, this is the mode to look for. The page evidence does not list Android builds for Pulse or Connect, so treat Android as an automated-simulator option unless the site says otherwise.

Join the Discord for help and matchmaking

Every product page points to the Discord community. Use it to:

• Find opponents for webcam games, especially for Lorcana and One Piece.
• Ask whether an unlisted TCG is supported.
• Get help if a download or matchmaking step doesn't work as expected.

Common snags

• Downloading the wrong client. Pulse and Connect are separate downloads from the main simulator. If webcam ranked play is your goal, don't install the automated client and expect webcam lobbies.
• Expecting full automation in Connect. Connect is described as webcam ranked play, not a rules-automated simulator, so you and your opponent manage the game state.
• Assuming mobile support for every mode. Only the automated simulator is confirmed for Android in the site content.

Start with the browser version to confirm the game you want is supported, then download the matching client for your device and mode.

Pixelborn splits ranked play and stat tracking across two separate tools: Pixelborn Connect handles webcam ranked games, and Pixelborn Live tracks your score and stats. Neither is part of the fully automated simulator — the automated client covers Cyberpunk TCG and the Naruto Card Game with online matchmaking, while ranked webcam play is where the site explicitly names ranked games. If you want a ranked ladder with recorded results, you need Connect plus Live; if you just want to test decks against automated rules, the main simulator is the simpler route.

Which games have ranked play

The site's ranked language is specific, so it helps to separate what is confirmed from what is only listed as supported.

The practical takeaway: if ranked play is your goal, Lorcana webcam games are the one confirmed ranked format. For Cyberpunk and Naruto, the automated simulator gives you matchmaking and full rules enforcement, but the page does not describe a ranked ladder for them.

How ranked webcam games work through Pixelborn Connect

Connect is a desktop download for PC and Mac — the page lists no browser or Android option for it, unlike the automated simulator, which also runs in a browser and on Android.

1. Download Pixelborn Connect for PC or Mac from the site.
2. Set up your webcam so your physical board and cards are visible to your opponent. This is the core mechanic: Connect is a webcam format, so the game state lives on your table, not in the software.
3. Find an opponent and play a ranked match. The page describes Connect as the place for "webcam ranked games," but it does not spell out an in-client ladder queue, rank tiers, or rating system. Treat the exact matchmaking flow as something to confirm once you are in the client.
4. Expect manual bookkeeping. Because Connect is webcam-based rather than automated, you and your opponent handle rules interactions yourselves — the same way any webcam TCG session works.

If you are coming from the automated simulator, the adjustment is real: no automatic rules enforcement, no automatic life totals. Your webcam, lighting, and camera angle become part of setup quality.

How Pixelborn Live tracks scores and stats

Pixelborn Live is a separate PC and Mac download described as the tool to "track your score and stats." The page does not detail which statistics it records, whether it syncs automatically with Connect results, or how scores are entered.

What you can reasonably plan for:

• Install Live alongside Connect if you want a record of your ranked sessions, since they are listed as distinct downloads.
• Check how results get into Live — whether it reads from your Connect games or needs manual entry — before you rely on it for a running record.
• Use it as your progress log, not as a rules engine. Live is a tracking tool; the playing happens in Connect.

For deck testing specifically, the automated simulator is the better fit: full rules automation means you can run a deck through games quickly without a webcam or an opponent's manual confirmation.

Where matchmaking and community support live

The page points to a Discord community as the hub for community-supported TCGs and, by extension, for finding games and opponents beyond the built-in queues. Since the page does not describe a public ranked queue for every listed game, Discord is the practical place to ask how ranked sessions for a given title are organized and scheduled.

Choosing the right setup for your goal

• You want to test a deck fast with correct rules: use the fully automated simulator in the browser, on PC/Mac, or on Android.
• You want ranked Lorcana games: download Pixelborn Connect for PC or Mac, set up your webcam, and pair it with Pixelborn Live for stats.
• You want a record of your results: install Live and confirm how it captures scores before your first ranked session.
• You play Cyberpunk or Naruto and want competitive structure: start with the automated simulator's matchmaking, then ask in Discord whether ranked play exists for those titles — the page does not claim it does.

The main thing to avoid is assuming ranked play and stat tracking are built into the automated simulator. On Pixelborn they are separate products with separate downloads, and only the webcam side is described as ranked.
