About osudesu

What this place is

osudesu is an unofficial, community-run private server for osu! — a separate universe with its own accounts, score database, PP rankings and events. It is not affiliated with osu! or ppy Pty Ltd; osu! is a trademark of its respective owner. We exist because a group of players wanted three things at once: honest Relax/Autopilot competition, a server that feels alive at any hour, and osu! that runs in a browser tab.

What's actually different here

  • Web player — real osu!standard gameplay in the browser: stable-accurate engine, mods, skins, replays, its own leaderboard. Among private servers this is our thing.
  • Relax & Autopilot as first-class modes — separate PP ladders instead of a shadow existence.
  • Clan wars — weekly PP-gain battles, so small active teams matter.
  • Browser replays, live spectate and auto-clips of 200pp+ plays.
  • Seasons — periodic ladders with a fresh start and rewards.

How we compare to other private servers

Ripple and Akatsuki are veterans with huge databases; Gatari is big in the CIS scene. We don't pretend to out-size them — osudesu competes on features (browser play, clan wars, replay links) and on being small enough that the team actually answers your Discord message. If you want a fresh ladder where a top-100 is achievable this year, that's us.

Transparency

Player profiles (nickname, stats, top plays) are public web pages and may appear in search engines — that's how leaderboards work. Cheating is handled by server-side replay validation and hardware checks; appeals go through Discord. The rules are short and enforced.

FAQ

Who runs osudesu?

A small team of osu! players and developers. Contact: Discord https://discord.gg/sNe96qeBHc, DM @yuckzyy.

Is this legal?

Private servers use the client's built-in devserver switch and don't distribute modified game files. osu! remains a trademark of its owner; we're clearly unofficial.

Will scores ever transfer to official osu!?

No — separate universes. That's the deal with any private server.

How stable is the server?

Dedicated hardware, monitoring, and a team that plays here daily. Status updates land in Discord and the news feed.
