Add chapters of games Many games have chapters, which could be listed here potentially alongside a time to beat for each chapter since games can have 30 minute chapters or 2 hour chapters. This would help people get general ideas of where they are in the game, or simply compare playtime by chapter.

Versions of Sonic the Hedgehog When trying to tag my stream as the game Sonic the Hedgehog (the 2006/2007 game for Xbox 360 and PS3), it is impossible to tag in any list or drop down, be it Twitch, Twitch Studio, OBS, Streamlabs, etc. I see that the game is on IGDB, so why doesn't the game ever show up?

Platform_Version missing on platform-version-release-dates A user wanted to sort the release dates of platform versions by date and get the name of the version. But could not since platform-version-release-dates field platform_version is missing.
Example query:
https://api.igdb.com/v4/platform_version_release_dates
fields *, platform_version.name; sort date desc; limit 500;Expected: A sorted list of platform version release dates and the name of the platform version name
Actual: A sorted list of platform version release dates without the platform version data.

I created list called playing and set it to private. Turns out this was reserved name for special list. Well now my playing list is private and I can't change it.

Differentiating Titles with Identical Names in Menus This is only a minor pet-peeve and super conditional, but there are times when Titles with the same name are released in the same year. This makes it fairly difficult to differentiate titles from each other when you are adding titles into various lists in the Edit menus. (Bundled Games, Versions, etc.) Most of the time you will see a year of the release in these menus, but there are examples of different versions released in the same year.
I will sometimes add the platform to the title of a game to help this, but this isn't the cleanest look…

Game image catalog naming convention as altenative titles Some of the games don't get results through the API because the names used by ROM (and other game images) documenting organizations have some rules that don't apply to IGDB's main title rule.
Some of them:
If the title starts with an article, it goes to the end of the title. (Legend of Zelda, The)
If there is a non-standard character, like slashes, quotes, etc, they are removed.
The Japanese naming scheme uses double vowels instead of singles ones.It would be good to have as an alternative title option something like: "Alternative title - No-Intro Naming Convention".
I'm pretty…

Game and platform icon For games and platforms there could be an icon imagem, of small size, which could be used as a visualization flair on the website and also as a data point for the API, as applications could use them to their UIs.

Game list missing from some company pages On a number of company pages, the game list does not appear, and games associated with the company can only be viewed within the timeline element (which does not display games without a release date, and is slow to reflect updates). This issue seems prevalent among company pages with relatively few games, although that might not be the direct cause.
Examples:
https://www.igdb.com/companies/cecile-richard
https://www.igdb.com/companies/d3t-limited
https://www.igdb.com/companies/kitty-horrorshow

Popularity attribute not functional The current popularity value for a game doesn't make any sense.
Please see below examples showing the popularity value with the hypes, and number of user ratings."id": 115278,
"hypes": 1,
"name": "Rune Factory 4 Special",
"popularity": 2090.622837928576"id": 120268,
"name": "Zombie Driver: Immortal Edition",
"popularity": 1431.973719413489As you can see, the top 2 games by popularity both have 0 user ratings. How can these be the most popular games on IGDB?
The docs say 'The popularity number is calculated using usage statistics of game pages at https://www.igdb.com' which can't possibly be true if these games are at the…

We’re not currently supporting popularity unfortunately, the existing hypes in the API are out of date and therefore out of sync, which is very likely why you’re getting those games as results.
We will be updating our documentation to reflect this, but meanwhile we recommend not using Popularity since it isn’t providing an accurate count.

3DTV support Not a fan personally, but it might be worth documenting with a simple Yes/No Checkbox.
Ex. Jak & Daxter Collection PS3, Resistance 3, Uncharted 3, etc.

Including search field in Multi-Query returns values without requested fields If you include the 'search' option in the multiquery, only the id fields are returned in the results. For example the following query
query games "game" {
fields name;
search "gta";
};
Will return an array of games but will only include the id field1 vote -
Public pipeline of "Approvals" From what I understand and experienced getting your changes approved on IGDB can take anywhere between 4 to 14 days, not longer. It would be good if there was a page that showed a list of changes currently waiting for approval from IGDB Admin so you could see where your changes were in the pipeline. I saw on the Discord that an announcement said that a week ago or so the oldest changes to be approved were about 14 days old. Keeping this list in public gives us an estimate on when our edits will be reviewed.

External Game Media is not working Hi,
I'm looking to filter games by their media (either digital or physical) but I have an issue with media response which is always empty.
Here is an example:
https://api.igdb.com/v4/external_games
-with body : fields countries, category, media; where game = 1187;
-response :
[
{
"id": 145250,
"category": 3
},
{
"id": 245373,
"category": 14
},
{
"id": 1998977,
"category": 14
}
]Category enum is working but there is no response for Media Enum = 1 or 2...
Is this normal?
Thanks for your answer and have a nice day!

Please Change The Base Platform Logo Image for the "Nintendo 64 (Platform)" to match it's own base platfrom logo image Hi,
On the platforms page "https://www.igdb.com/platforms" and when querying the API for the base platform, the platform logo for the base "Nintendo 64 (Platform)" is currently by default the iQue image "https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_cover_small/pl78.png" Shouldn't this image actually be the base platform image i.e. the N64 image "https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_logo_med/pl77.png" the same image that is displayed when visiting that platforms main platform web page "https://www.igdb.com/platforms/n64"?In summary please can we change the base N64 platform image in the following areas:
API - Platforms
Platforms Web Page - https://www.igdb.com/platforms
from:
https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_logo_med/pl78.png (i.e. pl78.png)
To:
https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_logo_med/pl77.png (i.e. pl77.png)…

Create Game API Endpoint I looked in the API documentation, but didn't see this. If I'm mistaken, please point me in the right direction!
A create game endpoint would streamline the game submission process. This would help with smaller indie web-based, browser games.

Add language information Hi,
We should be able to indicate the language of the review, when we write a new one.
And the page of the game (https://www.igdb.com/games/***/reviews), we should be able to filter reviews throught a language list.
Default value should be define on the profile, wich could be reuse on both situations (writing, filtering)
Thanks !1 vote -
On the profile, make the order of IGDB lists the same than everywhere else Hi,
On the profile (https://www.igdb.com/users/***) the lists order should be : Want > Playing > Played, like everywhere in the site, instead of the present order : Played > Playing > Want
Reviewed and rated lists should be on the second line than on the first one too, for a better user interface experience.
Thanks !

The involved_companies field stopped returning companies of type Publisher I have been using the following fields list on the /games path for several years now to retrieve a subset of data I needed for games:
fields first_release_date,summary,genres.name,themes.name,involved_companies.*,involved_companies.company.nameThis previously worked properly, and I have code to process the variables for "developer", "supporting", and "publisher" on each involved company that is returned. However, I recently noticed that no games ever return results with "publisher" set to true anymore after re-grabbing data for some games and seeing the publisher data I had stored for them disappearing for every game (where previously the same method had received those results). I only ever…
