Try running pip install wheel, pip install encoding, and then pip install pygame

Alternatively, check your environment variables to make sure your modules are findable Fatal Python error on Windows 10 ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'

This is a known issue with the pygame installer. Try uninstalling and reinstalling pygame using the following commands:

pip uninstall pygame
pip install pygame
