help Bitburner FAQ

Do you need to know how to code to play Bitburner?

You do not strictly need to know how to code to begin playing Bitburner, as it features an in-game tutorial that teaches the basics of JavaScript. However, writing your own automation scripts using the game's API is the core mechanic, so learning JavaScript is essential for progressing efficiently.

Is Bitburner free to play?

Yes, Bitburner is completely free to play on Steam and through web browsers. It is an open-source incremental game developed by Hydroflame and the community, relying entirely on player enjoyment rather than microtransactions.

The main objective is to build a massive hacking empire by compromising servers, stealing funds, and automating your workflow through code. Players use their illicit gains to upgrade their cybernetic augmentations and stats to eventually infiltrate a massive megacorporation called W0r1d D43m0n.
