- ✓We verify information using official sources and public records
What We Include:
- • Indie games from small teams
- • AA and AAA titles from major studios
- • Released games across all platforms
- • Early access and upcoming releases (clearly labeled)
- • Free-to-play and commercial games
Transparency & Accuracy
We're committed to maintaining accurate, up-to-date information. All games are manually reviewed and verified before being added to our directory.
How We Curate
Every game in our directory goes through a verification process:
Submission or Discovery
Games are either submitted by the community or discovered by our team.
Verification
We verify the developer's location using official sources, company registrations, and public information.
Quality Check
We ensure all information is accurate, links work, and descriptions are clear.
Publication
Once verified, the game is added to our directory and made discoverable.
