FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate my Phaser 3 project to Phaser 4?

Phaser 4 introduces a complete rendering overhaul, replacing legacy systems with RenderNodes, CaptureFrame, and GPU-based layers. You transition existing projects by mapping v3 game objects to these new rendering constructs.

What new rendering features are available in Phaser 4?

Phaser 4 adds RenderNodes, CaptureFrame, Gradient, Noise, SpriteGPULayer, and TilemapGPULayer. These features provide a complete rendering overhaul for building advanced graphics and lighting effects.

How do I use SpriteGPULayer and TilemapGPULayer in Phaser?

You use SpriteGPULayer and TilemapGPULayer to offload sprite and tilemap rendering to the GPU. These new Phaser 4 components bypass v3 CPU bottlenecks to handle large numbers of game objects efficiently.

Does Phaser 4 support dynamic gradients and noise generation?

Phaser 4 supports dynamic gradients and noise generation natively. You use the new Gradient and Noise game objects to create procedural textures and visual effects directly within the rendering pipeline.

What are the limitations when upgrading to Phaser 4 from v3?

Upgrading to Phaser 4 requires migrating to the new rendering architecture, which may break existing v3 plugins. You must evaluate performance implications and manually update code reliant on the legacy rendering pipeline.
