Use CC0 libraries such as Kenney, Quaternius, Poly Haven and ambientCG for art, models and textures, and itch.io’s CC0-tagged asset and audio pages for sprites, tiles and music. Check each pack’s own license page before shipping, since terms vary item by item.
At a glance
| Fact | Value | Source |

| Quaternius 3D model license | CC0, commercial OK, no resale | quaternius.com |
| Asset licensing | Varies by item | itch.io |
For genuinely free, commercial-safe assets, go to sites that publish a single explicit license for everything, not a marketplace where license terms vary per upload. Kenney puts all its sprites, UI kits and audio under CC0: free even in commercial projects, no attribution required. Quaternius licenses its 3D models the same way – CC0, usable and modifiable in commercial, educational and personal projects, with no credit required, though you cannot resell the raw assets as assets (license text). Poly Haven (HDRIs, textures, models) and ambientCG (materials, textures) are both CC0 across the board, including for commercial games.
When preparing your game for release, Playgama MCP lets an AI coding agent create the game entry, upload the build and covers, and publish a sandbox link to playtest.
itch.io mixes licenses: its CC0-tagged and audio pages surface plenty of CC0 sprites, tilesets and music, but itch.io itself warns that many “free” listings don’t state a license at all – open each pack’s page and confirm CC0 or an explicit commercial-use grant before you use it.
For music made with AI tools like Suno, check the plan: free-plan songs are non-commercial and cannot be monetized, while songs generated on a paid plan carry commercial-use rights. Same caution applies to AI image generators such as Recraft, where free-tier output is restricted to personal use and paid-tier output carries different rights – read the current terms page, since these change.

Related questions
Is CC0 the same as public domain?
CC0 is designed to work like public domain everywhere, including jurisdictions that don’t recognize public domain dedication – Poly Haven describes its CC0 assets this way.
Can I use free itch.io assets in a commercial browser game?
Only if the page states a commercial-friendly license like CC0 or CC BY; itch.io itself notes many free listings don’t state a license, so check each one.
Do AI-generated music tracks come with commercial rights automatically?
No – with Suno, free-plan songs are non-commercial only; commercial-use rights apply to songs generated while subscribed to a paid plan.
