3. Fyrox

   2 63 8,114 9.9 Rust

   3D and 2D game engine written in Rust

   

   Some other Rust game engines ship with their own physics engine. Fyrox, for example, has advanced 2D/3D physics, supporting rigid bodies, joints, ray casting and more. Godot too, which has community-led Rust bindings also has an in-built physics engine as well as a Godot-native extension using the Jolt physics engine. In fact, which is reported to be more performant than the official physics engine.

4. godot-jolt

   3 11 2,371 8.9 C++

   Godot Jolt is a Godot extension that integrates the Jolt physics engine

5. avian

   4 7 1,924 9.1 Rust

   ECS-driven 2D and 3D physics engine for the Bevy game engine.

   

   Bevy XPBD will move away from the XPBD solver in coming months, which is worth bearing in mind if you are considering using it for your project.
