Introducing OSTDB A database of video game soundtracks all in one place. We use data from @IGDBcom for game titles and @SpotifyEng for OST searches ostdb.net

We recently relaunched our Advanced Search feature, brand new version in BETA now. Give it a go and give us some feedback for improvement :) igdb.com/advanced_searc…

suggestions for indie game developers ♡ - adding socials to steam page - creating twitch categories @ igdb.com - disabling motion blur as default - ensuring general settings are available - including solo demos for lobby games

⚠️scheduled maintenance announcement ⚠️ We are conducting a Database upgrade for IGDB.com. The update is planned for Monday 2026-02-02 09:00 UTC and we expect the upgrade to take 1 hour. This will disable logins and contribution for that duration. Thank you!

Dear Indie Developer, Have you submitted your game to IGDB.com yet? It's vital for streamers to tag it. Don't forget before Steam Next Fest! With love, Kryon Harts #indiegame #indiedev #indiegamedev

For those who don't know, IGDB is a videogame database (the largest and most famous). Uploading your games there allows you to get categories on places like Twitch or YouTube; or you can be featured on GameCritX.com🕹️❤️

@KingCherrius @Twitch Righto, we'll take a look. Thanks for flagging!

@Twitch / @IGDBcom I'm working on a game related project and my LLM (which shall remain nameless) had some notes for you😭

@GibeonApologist Hey, IGDB admin here. OMG.. i played Koji the Frog as a kid too! this was completely off my radar until today haha. thank you so much. Accepted the change, and i added it to my Played list 😂

And Dollshouse and Koji the Frog tonight too

Decided to add a few of my childhood games to IGDB (and by extension Backloggd) since nobody seems to give a shit about children's Mac games from the 90s but me lol So far I've had How Many Bugs in a Box and Fluffy's Adventure approved and submitted the Checkers' games tonight

@Heffertron Hey! Sorry no the Steam lists, and lists in general, aren't data in the API. That's be considered user data from GDPR point of view :)

@IGDBcom Hey, is there an API for developers to use this feature?

⚠️ New feature drop! You can now automatically import your Steam library, and your Steam wishlists! Just head over either to your lists on your profile, or straight to your profile setting. hit connect, and boom.. games appear. What other importers would you like to have?👀

Want a recap of all game announcements and trailers from last nights #gameawards ? We got you covered :) igdb.com/events/the-gam…

@Nulacial Hi! Apologies for the delays, the queues are very long, and our team is small :( We are working on improving wait times. In the meantime yes we took a look, and we resolved it! Most of it was accepted right away :) Thanks again!

I made a contribution to fix some inaccuracies on the Itadaki Street 2 page on IGDB and haven’t gotten a reply back in nearly 4 months. I’m severely disappointed in the lack of response from @IGDBcom. Is there any way I can get this reviewed manually? igdb.com/games/itadaki-…

@Radshyguy You're welcome to help :)

realizing igdb is SLACKING with adding multiple boxarts. get your crap together @IGDBcom

HALLELUJAH I'M FREE. THE FRONT PAGE OF MY PROFILE IS SAVED

Wait, we have Dark Mode now 👀 Oh, we also now let you pick your preferred region for game covers. Think a JP or EU has better box art releases, then just set them as your preferred default :) Drop by Discord for the details!
