follow company On game pages we have "follow" button, would be nice to have same button for companies/publishers, to receive info about upcoming games/releases.
8 votesHey! Thanks for the suggestion, there’s some good opportunity there indeed.
We have plans (and needs) to redo how we handle companies, but we also need to rethink how Follows are handled. Right now even follows on game page are underused in terms of potential.
Definitely to be put in consideration when we revisit Companies. Thanks!

Ghost "played" game I submitted a game prologue, which was rejected because it was a demo.
However, I marked that game as "played" before it was rejected. Now, I have a ghost "played" game, whose existence is given away by the game count.
I would like to be able to remove that "ghost" game from the list, but it is not visible in the list, and I don't know its IGDB ID, so I cannot forge an API request to remove it from the list.
A simpler fix would be NOT to count "ghost" games when counting the number of games in a…

Categorize Individual Roblox Games Separately under Roblox as a platform Seeing as though Roblox is starting to be a sort of platform for games as opposed to being just a game itself, I think it would make sense to categorize games that run under Roblox (such as Bad Business, Phantom Forces, etc.) separately from Roblox itself. This is purely for game-tracking purposes in game-tracking services that use IGDB as their database.

List filtering Adding filter options to lists would be great. For example, if I want to filter a list to check only a specific genre, series or franchise, for example.

API endpoints for current user profile (e.g. lists) Would allow users to import/export their lists from/to other services like Playnite and RAWG.

platforms you own When you click on the personalize button on the home page, there is no Playstation 5 or Xbox Series XS options there. It should be there?
4 votesHey! Yes that is absolutely correct the new gen platform should be there.
We’ll take a look into that, thank you for pointing it out! -
Add TI-84 Graphing Calculator as a platform The TI-84 Graphing calculator can play certain video games and some made exclusive for it. I don't see why it couldn't be on IGDB.

Suggest Games Based on What Friends are Playing I would like to get suggestions based on what my friends are currently playing. Just a section that says what my friends are playing, not the whole discover thing.

Directly use in Twitch the accepted Game Covers from IGDB. Hi,
when I check my own channel on Twitch, I like to see the colouredful section name something like "Recently broadcast categories" (in Italian "Categorie trasmesse di recente), with all Game Covers from recently streamed games/categories.Anyway, seeing I bring lot of indie (expecially less less known ones) I often find they have no Game Cover at all related to their category. And they show and ugly grey empty cover box.
But most of them actually can show a Game Cover on IGDB... or if they don't, well I often upload a cover by myself, if I can.
The fact…
6 votesHey!
Thanks for reaching out. This has been an ongoing request, and an obvious fit for IGDB and Twitch.A separate team within Twitch has this planned. We (IGDB) do have covers as a high data priority and are indeed ready to power Twitch with those covers :)
Stay tuned for future Twitch announcements :)

Adding credits without youtube link I was trying to add credits for a game I developed myself, but we have no youtube video showing the credits. I think there should be another method of verification for entered credits e.g. websites or some kind of verification of the credibility of the editor.
6 votesHeya!
Our end credits is one of the oldest feature we have on the site and indeed could use some additional improvements.
Unfortunately this isn’t currently planned to revisit it in the short term.We do however intend to explore ways to differentiate game developers from regular users which could also help such use cases.
Thanks!

Minecraft Bedrock edition as a category Hello
I noticed that there are so many Minecraft categories but none from the Minecraft Bedrock edition.
In general, this is my suggestion. An extra category for the Minecraft Bedrock edition. I'm from the Minecraft Bedfrock edition scene and because there is no category for which many of my colleagues stream Minecraft Bedrock edition only on YouTube and not on Twitch. It is even often said that the Minecraft Bedrock edition would not be wanted on Twitch and something like that. And I think something should change so that another community can find its place on Twitch.

Include information about whether the game was released physically Due to the different types of machines in the new console generation, this issue has become even more important.

search games by a specific day right now you can see games in a specific month or a specific year. But you can't search by a exact day regardless what year, like today in history in mobygames https://www.mobygames.com/stats/this-day. I think you have all the data, just need add some buttons. Thanks.

Have genres be user-voted instead of being edited Besides the confusion with genres and themes (and things being really blanket), it would be great if people upvote or downvote genres to video games instead of how it is currently, where users can add whatever genres/tags they want with moderation, which leads to Steam/IGDB tags that don't really help for having users find similar games.

RetroAchievement.org achievement category http://retroachievements.org/ is a platform which provides achievements for retro games running in emulators, Currently there are only achievement categories for Steam, PSN and Xbox.
If we had a RetroAchievements category we could add achievements to thousands of games which may never have achievement's otherwise. It would be very cool for things like GOG Galaxy 2.0 integration plugins
137 votesHeya!
This is interesting for sure, we would have to look into it. One thing that comes to mind is whether or not those achievement lists are official, or approved by the original developer/publisher, as this could prove tricky from an IP perspective. Since we would redistribute the data, we’re very careful about the source and provenance.
We’ll be looking into this internally first. Thanks!

Select default cover-art on a case-by-case basis rather than taking a US-centric viewpoint It is my understanding that you are planning to implement a system where multiple cover-arts can be uploaded. This is a good start, but I strongly suggest you consider allowing the defaults (those shown on the IGDB page to logged out users, and those shown on Twitch) to be selected on a case-by-case basis. Factors such as popularity in differing regions and how the game is represented need to be taken into account, for example there are games that, though they released in the US, never received any sizable following there whereas they did elsewhere. To only allow US box…

Preset options for screenshot description It would be good to have some preset options for screenshot descriptions, like Alternative Names have (and still maintain the possibility of adding a custom description).
The main suggestions I have are:
- Title screen (I use this one all the time)
- In-game screenshot
- Main menu
- Opening screenshot
5 votesHi! We think this is a fantastic idea and follow the patterns we have for videos which indeed improves the consistency. We have made a ticket and will try to work on this as soon as possible. Thanks!

CSV Export with Personal Ratings In lists, I see that you can export those lists into csv files. However, when I go to view them, they don't have the user's personal rating, which I feel like is an important data point if someone wants to see their lists.
Essentially, this request is for a new column alongside the average user rating called "Personal Rating".
If no personal rating exists, it can either be 0 or empty.
Thank you for all your hard work!
