MobyGames

The site is going into read-only mode starting tonight as we begin the process of moving to the new platform! This may take a few days. We're moving millions of images, recreating their thumbnails, and updating the database from Postgres 11 to 15, along with over 60 migrations.

In the meantime, feel free to continue browsing this site or the beta (which no longer requires login).

Stay tuned!

As per tradition, I present to you this year's database visualization! Made possible by the MobyGames API.

Happy new year! You know the drill, it's that time again when we ask: what are your personal goals for 2023, MobyGames or gaming in general related? Here's our resolutions from last year. What about this year? Let us know in the comments below.

As we do at the end of every year, let us reminisce on all the games we've played over the past 365 days and share our impressions.

As always, the games themselves need not have come out in 2022 necessarily, all that matters is that you played them and they left a mark on you.

All registered MobyGames users can now log into the beta! Please check it out, explore and try to break things.
