Game Title Generator
Generate game title ideas by genre — classic two-word titles, coined names and subtitles — and build some around your own keyword.
Stuck on a working title for a game jam entry, a Steam page or a pitch deck? This generator fills the naming patterns that real game titles tend to follow — "The ___ ___", "___ of ___", one-word coined names and "Name: Subtitle" pairs — with word banks chosen for each genre, and it can weave your own keyword into half of the list. Each batch comes from a numbered variation, so you can get back to a list you liked.
How to use this tool
- Pick the genre so the vocabulary matches the mood of your game.
- Optionally type a keyword — a hero, a place, a mechanic — to build some titles around it.
- Choose how many ideas you want, up to 50.
- Change the variation number for a fresh batch and note the number of any list worth keeping.
Formula
title = pattern(adjective, noun, prefix + suffix, keyword)
Every genre has 16 adjectives, 16 nouns, and 8 prefixes and 8 suffixes for coined words such as "Stormreach". A seeded random generator picks a pattern, fills it, and drops duplicates, so a list never repeats a title. With a keyword, every other title uses a keyword pattern.
Example
Sci-fi, no keyword, 12 ideas, variation 1 gives titles such as "Novaline", "Final Protocol" and "Starcore: Silent Cipher": a coined one-word name, a plain two-word title and a subtitle pair. Typing the keyword "Kestrel" swaps half of the list for titles like "Kestrel: Infinite Vector" or "Relay of Kestrel".
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a generated title commercially?
The tool only combines common English words and grants no rights. Before you commit, search Steam, the console stores, app stores and your trademark office for the name — two-word titles built from common words are frequently taken already.
What makes a game title work?
It is short (one to three words), easy to say and spell, and hints at genre or tone. Coined words like "Iongate" are easier to own in search results than a phrase made only of everyday words.
Why does the same setting always give the same list?
The list depends only on the genre, the keyword and the variation number. That makes it repeatable: share the variation number with your team, or change it to see new ideas.
Should I pick a title before the game is finished?
A working title helps with project folders, builds and early store pages, and many teams rename late. Choose something usable now and revisit it before the store page goes public.
