What VideoGameBacklog.com is
VideoGameBacklog.com is a free web tracker for organizing a personal game library, recording play history, and sharing a public profile. Users can import a Steam library and sync games and playtime from a public Steam profile, or manually add titles from consoles, physical collections, retro systems, other stores, and delisted catalogs. The library records when games are started, paused, or finished, alongside ratings, notes, profile settings, and sync history. Insights group games by release year. Public profiles can be shared, and a comparison tool finds games two profiles have in common. Four public tools are available without an account or installation; a Steam analyzer shows owned games never launched without saving the library. Steam import requires game details to be public in Steam privacy settings. Users can sign in with Steam or email. Email accounts store an address and one-way password hash, while connected Steam accounts store public profile and library data needed for syncing. Optional PostHog and Microsoft Clarity analytics and session replay run only after acceptance of the analytics banner. The site is maintained by one person, identified as teemuk2.
