What UltraStar Deluxe is

UltraStar Deluxe is a free, open-source karaoke game for Windows, Linux, and macOS. Players sing songs and earn points based on vocal pitch and singing rhythm, and they can also create their own songs. Party mode supports 8–12 players divided into two or three teams. The maker says more than 10,000 songs are available; players can also use DRM-free audio files or music stored on their computers. SingStar microphones work with the game. Users can create themes and get community plugins, free songs, and code patches. Lua plugins are supported, but must have the .usdx extension and be placed in the plugins directory. The game uses the Official UltraStar Song Format, which is shared with partner games and song editors. The listed minimums are a 1GHz CPU, OpenGL 1.2, 512MB free RAM, and 200MB of disk space, with additional room needed for songs and videos. It is available at no cost, with Flathub and AUR listed as alternative installation routes.
