Getting Started

1. Create Your Account

Head to the sign up page and create an account with your email. You’ll need an invite code during the alpha. If you don’t have one yet, you can request access here.

2. Install the Browser Extension

The GoodGames Library Sync extension connects your gaming platforms to GoodGames. It runs in the background and captures the data needed to import your libraries.

Install it for your browser:

• Chrome Web Store
• Firefox Add-ons

Once installed, you don’t need to interact with the extension directly. It works automatically when you import from the imports page.

3. Connect Your Platforms

Go to the imports page and follow the steps for each platform you want to sync:

• Steam: Enter your Steam ID. For extra data like “last played” timestamps, you can optionally provide your own Steam Web API key.
• PlayStation: Sign in to the PlayStation website in your browser, then click import. The extension captures your session automatically.
• Xbox: Sign in to Xbox.com in your browser, then click import. Same as PlayStation, the extension handles it.
• Nintendo: Authenticate through Nintendo’s OAuth flow. Your session token is saved so you can re-sync without signing in again.

GoodGames automatically categorizes your games (playing, completed, backlog, etc.) based on playtime, achievements, and other signals. You can override any status manually.

4. Explore Your Library

Once your platforms are synced, head to your dashboard to browse your unified library. From there you can update statuses, rate games, write reviews, create lists, and follow other users.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is GoodGames?

GoodGames is a cross-platform game library manager, think “Goodreads for video games.” It syncs your libraries from Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo into one place so you can track what you’ve played, what you’re playing, and what’s in your backlog.

What platforms are supported?

Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo. Each platform imports your games, playtime, and achievement/trophy progress, where applicable.

Do I need the browser extension?

Yes, for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo imports. The extension captures authentication tokens from your active browser sessions so GoodGames can pull your library data. Steam can be imported with just your Steam ID, though a Steam API key will provide the most data.

What does the extension actually do?

It reads authentication tokens from PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo when you’re logged into those sites. Those tokens are sent to GoodGames over HTTPS for a single import session and then discarded. The extension does not store passwords, inject ads, or track your browsing. You can review the full details in our Privacy Policy.

Is my data private?

By default your profile is public so friends can see your library and lists. You can make your profile private at any time in settings. GoodGames never sells your data or uses it for advertising. See our Privacy Policy for the full breakdown.

How often does my library sync?

Syncing is manual. Head to the imports page and click re-sync for any platform whenever you want to pull in new data. For Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox, you’ll need to be logged into those sites in your browser when you sync.

A game is matched incorrectly or missing. What do I do?

Click the report icon (exclamation mark) on the game card to flag a bad match. You can also report issues in our Discord server.

How do I report a bug?

For game-specific issues (wrong cover art, bad match, missing game), use the report icon on the game card. For anything else such as broken pages, import failures, or unexpected behavior drop a message in the Discord server or email contact@goodgames.fyi.

Can I delete my account?

Yes. Go to settings and use the delete account option. This removes your profile, library, lists, and all associated data permanently.
