Sportsfriends is a party video game created by the Danish independent developer collective Die Gute Fabrik. It consists of four games: Johann Sebastian Joust, Super Pole Riders, BaraBariBall, and Hokra. It was released for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows, Mac, and Linux. The game was funded through Kickstarter and received over US$150,000 from backers.

Johann Sebastian Joust does not have graphics or use a monitor. Instead, players try to hold a PlayStation Move controller still while others attempt to bump their controller. Die Gute Fabrik entered the minigame into the 2012 Independent Games Festival competition. Pole Riders is a polevaulting game created by Bennett Foddy. A prototype version is available as a web game.
