IGN Launches New Playlist Feature

Los Angeles, CA, April 8, 2022 - Gaming is one of the most enjoyable hobbies on the planet, and if you’re like us at IGN, you’re also playing an ever-growing amount of games, in more places than before. But with hundreds of games on subscription services, and new titles being released every single month, how do we keep up, and how do we know what the heck we’ll like?

So we’ve spent the last year bringing our product and engineering teams together, gearing up to help gamers make sense of it all, and are ready to get it in your hands. We call it: IGN Playlist – a place for all of your games, across the major platforms.

We know gamers are trying to organize their libraries through homebrew solutions in spreadsheets and notes documents, and Playlist is built to leverage the scale and reliability of IGN’s vast catalog of titles from the past 25 years of gaming. We wanted to create a product people could trust to house their libraries, and help them discover, track, share, rank, and curate lists to share with their friends. Check out the areas of Playlist below to get an idea of how it all works.

Discover — Discover is Playlist’s homepage for finding new games. It’s updated weekly to surface interesting lists, new and upcoming games, and other fun and interesting categories to help people find their next favorite game or keep up with what IGN’s covering.

Library — Any game on IGN can be added to user libraries. Playlist users can track what they want, own, play, pause, beat, and quit. They can share the game, add it to a list, and more.

Playlists — Playlists are a great way to curate, share, and rank games. Users can create ranked and unranked playlists, and share playlists to social media, Twitch profiles, Discords, and more. IGN Playlist also aggregates the hours of game time of user lists, powered by HowLongToBeat.com

Community Ratings — Playlist lets players rate what they liked, and what they didn’t about games they play. People can select from a number of descriptors and aspects of games so they can remember their experiences. Games with enough ratings will show the most loved aspects of a game.

Guides — Any time someone marks a game as “playing”, Playlist will automatically include available IGN guide content in the “My Guides” page to provide quick access to game help, to help them make it through their backlog.

IGN’s Product vision is to help people enjoy more games, movies, and shows, and share their experiences with each other in fun, inclusive ways. From learning about games through our editorial coverage to saving time with IGN’s game guides, IGN Playlist is the next step in your gaming journey.
