GGDB Help
Guide.

You can create a GGDB account with email or use supported social sign in options. After registration, GGDB guides you toward profile setup, platform connections, and library settings.

• Open Sign Up and enter your username, email, date of birth, country, and password.
• Usernames must be 3-20 characters and can include letters, numbers, and underscores.
• If you registered with email, confirm your account from the verification email before signing in.
• Use Sign In to access your profile, settings, saved games, and synced platform data.
• If you lose access, use Forgot Password to reset your password.
• If Steam, Discord, or Google buttons are available, you can use them to sign in or create a new GGDB account.

Your profile is your public gaming identity on GGDB. It brings together your games, platforms, favorite genres, equipment, statistics, and recent activity.

• Open Profile to check how your public page appears.
• Use Settings to update your avatar, banner, bio, country, favorite genres, platforms, and privacy choices.
• The Library tab shows your games, Activity shows your recent actions, and Statistics summarizes your play habits.
• Your Favorite Games Grid appears on your public profile and displays games you marked as favorites, liked, disliked, or plan to play. Open your profile and use the Edit Grid option to choose and arrange the games shown there.
• Use the profile share tools when you want to send your GGDB profile to other people.

Gamer DNA is built from the signals you add to GGDB: your profile details, connected platforms, game library, ratings, reviews, favorite genres, and play status choices.

• Complete your profile basics from Settings.
• Add games manually or import them from Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox.
• Mark games as played, playing, plan to play, liked, disliked, or favorite.
• Rate games and write reviews so GGDB can understand your taste more accurately.
• Your Gamer DNA becomes more useful as your library and activity become more complete.

GGDB uses a user-specific level system to reflect meaningful profile activity. Your level is designed to show how complete and active your gaming identity is, not just how long you have had an account.

• You can gain progress by completing your profile, building your library, rating games, writing reviews, and interacting with GGDB features.
• Imported games, completed library data, and consistent activity can help your profile become more complete over time.
• Levels can support future rewards such as badges, profile signals, contributor recognition, or community visibility.
• Low-quality spam activity should not be treated as meaningful progress. GGDB is built around useful contribution, not empty volume.
• Your level may evolve as GGDB updates the scoring rules during early beta.

XP is tied to useful activity that improves your GGDB profile and the quality of your gaming record. The exact scoring can change while GGDB is in early beta.

• Complete your profile, avatar, bio, country, platform, and genre details.
• Add games to your library manually or through supported platform imports.
• Rate games, write reviews, and keep your play status accurate.
• Meaningful activity is more valuable than repeated low-quality actions.

In normal use, your level should represent your accumulated meaningful profile activity. Some changes can still affect the signals used to calculate progress.

• Removing games, ratings, or reviews may reduce the data available for profile progress.
• Spam, abuse, duplicated activity, or moderated content may not count toward progress.
• During beta, GGDB may adjust level rules to keep the system fair.
• The goal is to reward useful profile building, not punish normal edits.

No. GGDB should not ask you to type your Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, Google, Discord, or Microsoft password into a support message, comment, chat, or unofficial form.

• Use official platform sign in screens when a connection requires authorization.
• Never send your platform password to GGDB support or another user.
• PlayStation NPSSO is temporary session data and should only be used in the official Settings flow when required.
• If someone asks for your platform password, treat it as unsafe and reset that platform password immediately.

Game information turns your GGDB profile from a blank account into a useful gaming record. It helps GGDB understand what you play, what you care about, and what should be shown on your profile.

• Your library becomes searchable, filterable, and easier to share.
• Your Gamer DNA, profile statistics, and taste signals become more accurate.
• Ratings and reviews help other players understand whether a game is worth their time.
• Imported source badges can show where a game came from, such as Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, or Game Pass.

A complete profile gives you a stronger public gaming identity and unlocks better personal context across GGDB.

• You get a richer public profile with library, activity, statistics, and taste data.
• GGDB can build better Gamer DNA signals from your completed profile.
• Reviews, ratings, and library activity can support badges, reputation, and future community features.
• Other users can understand your gaming taste without asking for a long list of favorite games.

Your DNA card is designed to be a compact shareable summary of your gaming identity. It works best after your profile, library, and ratings have enough data.

• Open your Profile and find the Gamer DNA or share card area if it is available on your account.
• Use the share action to copy the profile link or generate the card image where supported.
• If the card looks incomplete, add more games, ratings, genres, and profile details before sharing it.
• Only share cards and profile links that you are comfortable making public.

If you cannot sign in, use the password reset flow instead of creating a second account.

• Go to Forgot Password.
• Enter the email address connected to your GGDB account.
• Open the reset email and follow the link before it expires.
• Choose a new password that you do not use on other websites.
• If you signed up with Steam, Google, or Discord, try the same sign in method you originally used.

GGDB is designed around account security and controlled platform connections. You should still use strong password habits and review what you choose to make public.

• Use a unique password and keep access to your email account secure.
• Connect external platforms only from the official GGDB sign in or settings screens.
• Never paste platform tokens or account details into chat messages, comments, or unofficial forms.
• Review your privacy choices in Settings.

No online service can claim zero risk, but GGDB separates public profile information from sensitive account access. You control what you add and what you share publicly.

• Public profile data can be visible to other users if your profile is public.
• Passwords and account access details should never be shared with anyone.
• Platform connections are used to sync supported library data; they are not a reason to share your platform password with GGDB support.
• If you suspect unauthorized access, reset your password and review connected accounts immediately.

Platform imports are used to build your GGDB library and connect your profile with supported game records.

• Steam sync can bring supported owned game and library information.
• PlayStation sync can use a current NPSSO token to read supported PSN game history.
• Xbox sync can connect your Microsoft account and import supported Xbox library or play history data.
• Imported games may appear as matched or unmatched until GGDB can connect them to database records.

You can manage platform connections from Settings. Depending on the platform and account state, you may be able to disconnect the source, stop future syncs, or remove imported items from your library.

• Open Settings and find the connected platform section.
• Disconnect or revoke the platform connection where the option is available.
• Remove individual games from your library if they should no longer appear on your profile.
• If a platform keeps syncing old data, disconnect it before starting another sync.

Your public profile is meant to be shareable, but profile visibility depends on the privacy options available in your account settings.

• Check Settings for profile and privacy controls.
• Public profile sections may include your avatar, bio, activity, library, ratings, reviews, and Gamer DNA signals.
• Avoid adding personal details to your bio or public fields if you do not want other users to see them.
• Before sharing a DNA card or profile link, review the public version of your profile.

Steam sync helps bring your owned games and supported Steam library data into GGDB.

PlayStation sync runs from the PlayStation area in Settings and uses a current NPSSO token to read your PSN game history.

• Go to Settings and open the PlayStation section.
• Paste a fresh NPSSO token from your PSN session. You can also enter your Online ID.
• Press Sync Library to pull your PlayStation game history into GGDB.
• After sync, games appear as matched or unmatched. Matched games can be applied to your GGDB library.
• NPSSO is temporary session data. If it expires, generate a new token and sync again.

Xbox sync connects your Microsoft account to GGDB so your Xbox play history and available library data can be used on your profile.

• Go to Settings and open the Xbox section.
• Use Connect Xbox or the Xbox sign in button to approve your Microsoft account.
• When you return to GGDB, press Sync Library to pull your Xbox games.
• Imported games can appear in your profile library with a platform source badge. Some records may require a GGDB match before they are fully applied.
• If a Game Pass section is available, manage Game Pass catalog data from that separate area.

Epic Games library import is not active yet. We are working on this platform connection so Epic Games libraries can be supported in GGDB.

• The Epic Games option is currently shown as an upcoming platform integration.
• You cannot sync Epic Games library data into GGDB yet.
• When the integration is ready, GGDB will show the supported connect, sync, and apply steps in this guide.
• Until then, you can add Epic Games titles manually to your GGDB library.

Your library collects games you played, are playing, plan to play, liked, favorited, or imported from external platforms.

• Use Search to find games, Top 250 for ranked lists, and Discover for recommendations.
• On a game detail page, mark a game as played, playing, plan to play, liked, disliked, or favorited.
• In your profile Library tab, filter games by source, status, genre, and rating data.
• Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and Game Pass sources can appear on game cards when those imports exist.
• Progress and completion states can affect your profile statistics and badge calculations.

GGDB builds curated discovery pages so you can jump from any game to similar titles, or see the best games in a genre.

• On any game detail page, use the Games like this link to see titles with a similar genre and tag feel, ranked by how closely they match.
• Open Genres, pick a genre, then use See the best games for a top-rated list.
• Use Discover and Top 250 for personalized picks and the overall best-rated games.
• Sign in to save these games to your library, rate them, and track progress directly from the cards.

Play by Mood lets you choose how you want to feel and lines up games that match — instead of browsing by genre alone.

• Open Play by Mood and pick a mood like Tense, Cozy, Epic, Horror, Cerebral, or Romantic.
• Each mood blends genres and atmospheric tags, and the results are ranked by how well they fit plus community popularity.
• Use Shuffle for a fresh set, or Surprise me to jump to a random mood.
• Sign in to like, save to plan-to-play, and track progress on the matching games right from the cards.

GGDB search and browsing pages help you narrow down games, users, developers, genres, and ranked lists.

• Use Search when you know the game, person, developer, or genre you are looking for.
• Use platform filters to focus on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, or other available platform groups.
• Use rating filters to narrow results by score range when browsing ranked lists.
• Use sorting controls to switch between relevance, rating, popularity, or date-based views where available.
• If a result is missing platform or rating data, it may be waiting for more GGDB data or community activity.

GGDB ratings collect player scores and show community sentiment on game pages.

• To rate a game, open the game detail page and choose a score in the rating area.
• One user can have one active rating per game. You can update your rating later.
• Your rating contributes to the community average and your profile game statistics.
• Rating a game can appear in your activity and may feed profile mechanics such as XP or badges.
• Ratings are short score signals. Use reviews when you want to explain your opinion in detail.

Reviews let you write longer opinions, mark spoilers, and interact with other players.

• Open the Reviews area on a game detail page to write your review or read existing reviews.
• Mark spoiler content so other users are warned before opening it.
• You can like, dislike, reply to, share, or report reviews.
• Review count, quality, and interaction can affect reviewer badges and your community presence.

GGDB is both a game database and a community profile platform. You can explore games, people, companies, and genres in one connected place.

• Use Search to find games, users, developers, and genres.
• Game detail pages show platform data, release information, media, trailers, system requirements, ratings, and reviews.
• Use Featured, Top 250, and Discover to find new games.
• Notifications, profile activity, and followed content become more personalized when you are signed in.

Use the supporting pages for account, privacy, legal, and site index information.

• Read the Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.
• Use the site index for the current public page list.
• If platform sync fails, sign in again, refresh the required token if needed, and restart sync from Settings.
