Available for free download on PS5, PS4, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch and smartphone, Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel is a resounding success with both die-hard fans and those who haven't felt the soul of the cards for years. A phenomenal popularity that it owes to several factors: its free access, nostalgia and its game mechanics designed for all types of players. 



With over 10 different cards, colorful animations, and simplified rules for newcomers, Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel breathes new life into the inexhaustible card game.

For others, it's an opportunity to rediscover the cards of their youth, such as the Dark Magician or the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and take them where they want and when they want.


Released on all current media, Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel also owes its success to its cross-platform aspect, which allows you to play from one device to another and keep your progress.
