Show the actual data of the sorted fields when sorting custom lists When sorting custom lists by other fields like "IGDB Rating", "Release Date", or "Date Added", it would be nice to show these fields in the list so that people can view the information and confirm that the list is sorted correctly.
For example, sorting by "Date Added" would show the list of games but also show the actual date it was added:
- Game A ~~~~ 2026-03-01
- Game B ~~~~ 2026-05-01
- Game C ~~~~ 2026-08-01
Likewise if one were to sort by IGDB rating:
- Game A ~~~~ 5.6
- Game B ~~~~ 8.9
- Game C ~~~~ 9.2

Sorting custom lists by any release date In the current custom lists, you can only sort by the full release date.
Allow an option to sort by any release date for the game and not only by full release dates.
For example, in the current implementation, when sorting a custom list by release date with the oldest first, this is what the list would show:
- Game A - Full Release 2026
- Game B - Full Release 2028
- Game C - Early Access Release 2027
This is not intuitive since Game C would release earlier than Game B, and ideally should appear as follows:
- Game A - Full…

Add "AND" to the filter please. Unless I am seriously missing something, currently the filter is "OR" only so if you want to find [tactical][shooters] for example, it includes games like Baldurs Gate 3 which is only in the tactical genre. Add an "AND" to all filter categories please otherwise it is pointless adding genre's/themes to the filter because it shows entries that is not in the specific selection of genres themes Only that you are looking for.

Difficulty/complexity rating It would be nice to add a feature that lets everyone rate a game's difficulty/complexity. I'm thinking of a system similar to the one used to rate the "weight" of a board game on the BoardGameGeek website (https://boardgamegeek.com/wiki/page/Weight). Each voter selects the value they think is appropriate, and an average value is then displayed on the game’s page, along with the distribution of votes.
In the context of a video game, this information would serve the same purpose: to determine whether a game will be too difficult or complex for me, given my profile and expectations.

The Room I want to stream The Room. However, Twitch shows 2 other games which are not The Room that i am looking for (IDs 2080844645 and 118195). Twitch also has the three sequels: The Room 2, 3, and 4..... but not one: https://www.igdb.com/games/the-room--1
I tried opening a ticket with Twitch support, and they told me to create the IGDB page. When I tried to explain that it is already there, I was told to come here. I tried chatting with Twitch support, same exact result. So, I'm here. On the Edit page, it says "IGDB ID: 11625". In Edit > Websites,…2 votes -
Add ‘Big Fish Games’ to Store Link Big Fish Games is easily one of the biggest hubs for PC and Mac games. When I don’t find a hidden object or mystery game on Steam I go straight for BFG.
In fact, I often go to BFG first now instead of Steam. To me that indicates BFG is big enough to have a Store Link.
Adding BFG to the Store Link section would also allow, in the Social Link section under Official Website, the developer’s official website to be added.

Reporting duplicates The page https://github.com/twitchtv/igdb-contribution-guidelines/wiki/Duplicates references a Discord group to report duplicates. The group is now defunct. It should reference https://github.com/twitchtv/igdb-contribution-guidelines/wiki/Report instead.

Wikipedia links with anchors (#) The Edit Game form doesn't allow inserting Wikipedia links with anchors. It cuts the link before #. Some games are on Wikipedia only in a section of another page, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sims_4_game_packs#Spa_Day.
I use the Wikipedia links to display localized game description in my app so I would need the links as precise as possible.

Alternative name types is limited to 20 There are currently 600 alias types (e.g. Alternative spelling or French title). However, only 20 is offered for selection in the edit form. Please add more. I mainly need Czech title but I think that all the languages should be in this list. This is the list of alias types with >=10 games and the number of games using them. Only those marked with * have their option in the edit form:
*25893 alternative title
*18902 stylized title
*9811 alternative spelling
4710 other
*4664 abbreviation
*4087 acronym
*3234 working title
*1865 french title
*1788 german title
1486 other alias

Admins: Wait for a response before closing an edit's comment thread When an edit gets rejected, the admins close the edit's comment thread immediately. This is very unproductive, as it does not let the editor pitch their case for why the edit should be made, which leads to misunderstandings. Since there is no way to debate with a rejected verdict, admins should allow the editor to respond in the comment thread instead of immediately locking it.

API for unvalidated changes Would it be possible to provide an API for unvalidated changes? Either as a separate endpoint (https://api.igdb.com/v4/validations), or a different namespace for the same endpoints (https://api.igdb.com/v4/games/unvalidated).
One use case is that I want my admins to propose the changes directly to you but I want to display them on my website immediately.
Another use case is that I have other data which I need to link to IGDB items that are not yet validated. E.g. https://trendingnow.games/upcoming links https://store.steampowered.com/app/3897800/ which is available as https://www.igdb.com/games/poker-night-at-the-inventory--1/changes but not yet validated.
This endpoint should have a user ID proposing the…3 votes -
Advanced Search: Add option to exclude games already in Want / Playing / Played lists The beta Advanced Search is a significant improvement over the current standard search and should be considered as the primary/default search experience going forward. The filtering depth and flexibility make it much more useful for discovery and research.
One feature that would greatly improve it further is the ability to exclude games that a user has already categorized in their personal lists.
Proposed feature:
Add filters (or a simple toggle) to exclude games marked as:- Want
- Playing
- Played
Example use case:
When searching with specific filters (e.g., release date range, genre, platform), results often include many games the user has…2 votes -
Fix the critics review system to better match the actual rating of a game Hi there! I'm pretty sure you are aware of this issue and that it might be the case for some years now (at least I found some Reddit threads from 5+ years ago discussing this issue with feedback from your team) but I couldn't find it here and its honestly bugging me a lot.
Your critics review score is completely skewed and therefore useless. This is mainly a big issue for me because currently GOG Galaxy is using IGDB to fetch data, including the critics score rating. When I sort my library by rating, I get games such as Mini…

Weather Can we get a category for weather or meteorology? We have a ton of storm chasers and meteorologists on the platform but currently they're relegated to the 'Just Chatting' category, which is not really a good fit for the content they create.
A dedicated weather category would allow viewers to more easily keep up to date with weather changes as they happen in real time, without having to shuffle through a bunch of channels that are talking about other random topics!

Indicate the store PC, Mac, or Linux games were bought from (Epic, GOG, Steam, etc) When selecting PC, Mac, or Linux as a platform, also have the option to select the game store it was (or will be) purchased on. For example, show that you played Tomb Raider on GOG, want Mass Effect on Steam, finished Skyrim on GOG, Steam, and Epic, etc.

Horror Category Would be nice to have a general category for horror games. There are a lot of horror games that don't have a category or have a dead one. I feel like having a general category for horror would make things easier for people. There's already a games+ demos, why not have specifics for game types.
