Abstract: We develop a probabilistic approach to continuous-time finite state mean field games. Based on an alternative description of continuous-time Markov chain by means of semimartingale and the weak formulation of stochastic optimal control, our approach not only allows us to tackle the mean field of states and the mean field of control in the same time, but also extend the strategy set of players from Markov strategies to closed-loop strategies. We show the existence and uniqueness of Nash equilibrium for the mean field game, as well as how the equilibrium of mean field game consists of an approximative Nash equilibrium for the game with finite number of players under different assumptions of structure and regularity on the cost functions and transition rate between states.
