Single file
Software concept
The game is just a single file (likely its executable) that bundles all its required data inside of itself rather than outside as separate files.

Alternate name: Application bundle
May create additional files outside of itself to store saves and configuration but not game data.
If it creates data files, such as textures, music, sound files, etc. outside of itself then it's not part of this tag (for example, Minecraft downloads all its missing components if not present but is distributed as single executable of some form).
Meaningless on platforms where this is the norm, for example on Mac pretty much all games are .app application bundles or maybe .dmg used in similar fashion.
Implies there's no installation required, though it could be self-installing game.
