Loading Assets

The Phaser Loader (this.load) handles fetching all external content: images, audio, JSON, tilemaps, atlases, fonts, scripts, and more. Assets are queued in preload(), loaded in parallel, and placed into global caches accessible by every Scene.

Quick Start

class GameScene extends Phaser.Scene {
    preload() {
        this.load.image('logo', 'assets/logo.png');
    }

    create() {
        this.add.image(400, 300, 'logo');
    }
}
