Console

Everything on the Shell tab, and everything Packmaster/ the GitHub Action build on top of it, targets desktop today — Windows, macOS, and Linux. But nothing about Roves' own architecture ties it to desktop specifically: Servo, the engine underneath it, is written in Rust from the ground up, and Rust's portability is exactly what makes a console port a realistic engineering project rather than a rewrite. Reaching a new platform is mostly about the native integration layer around the engine — windowing, input, GPU surface setup — talking to that platform's own APIs, not about touching how pages render.

The JavaScript engine is ready for this too. Consoles generally forbid generating executable code at runtime, and Roves's engine (V8) has a JIT-less mode built and checked for exactly that case. One limit carries over: a JIT-less build has no WebAssembly, so a console port of a WebAssembly game would need a V8 built with its WebAssembly interpreter.

See the platform-specific pages in this section for what that actually looks like on each console:
