Fraymakers is being developed by McLeodGaming—the developers of Super Smash Flash 2—and Team Fray.

An early access version of Fraymakers was initially planned for release in 2022 and funded through a campaign on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter in late 2020. The Kickstarter campaign raised over. In January 2023, the early access version was released on Linux, macOS, and Windows PC via the online storefront Steam. Fraymakers is planned to remain in early access for approximately two years before its full release. The early access version currently features six characters, five stages, and 23 assists. Post-release, an additional character is planned for release as downloadable content (DLC).
