PLT Games
PLT Games is a small game launcher installed with Racket that opens a collection of bundled educational and casual games on macOS.
What is PLT Games?
PLT Games is a graphical game launcher associated with the Racket programming language distribution. It has historically been published under the PLT or Racket project, led by Matthew Flatt, and is used to start a set of bundled games such as card, puzzle, logic, and board-style titles. Racket documentation describes PLT Games as the executable that lets users select games distributed with the platform or additional games installed in the Racket games collection. On macOS, users usually encounter it as an auxiliary app included with a Racket installation rather than as a standalone commercial game product. Its purpose is mainly educational, demonstrational, and recreational within the broader Racket ecosystem. It does not appear to be a core macOS system component, but it is a normal part of the Racket software suite when present.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This app is generally safe when it comes from an official Racket installation. It is not known as a macOS system component, and its data risk is usually low because it is a local game launcher, but you should still verify the parent Racket installation if you do not recognize it.
Recommendation: Keep it if you use Racket or want the bundled games. If you do not use Racket and do not need its sample games, removing the related Racket app suite is usually reasonable after confirming nothing else depends on it.
