What you can do on GameNight
GameNight keeps all your games in one place, video games and board games, and makes game night with friends easy to run, score and remember.
All your games, one library
- Bring in what you already own. Connect Steam, RetroAchievements, Epic Games, GOG or BoardGameGeek and your games show up on their own, then stay up to date.
- Add anything else. Search for any game, or add the physical copies on your shelf.
- One game, one entry. Own something on two stores? Turn on Hide duplicates and it shows once, with play time added up across both.
- Know where each game lives. Tag games with the consoles and devices you own.
- Keep a wishlist. Your Steam wishlist comes along too.
- Cover art, genres, summaries and how long a game takes to beat, filled in for you.
Snap to add
- Point your camera at a game. GameNight reads the cover or the barcode and adds it for you.
- Got a whole shelf? Take a group photo. You'll get a list of every game it found, and you just tap ✓ for right, ✗ for wrong, or Discard. Tap Add all to add every game it's sure about.
- Works for board game boxes too.
Track your play
- Playing, Want to play, Finished, Dropped. Anything you've played lately shows as Playing without you lifting a finger.
- Continue playing puts what you're in the middle of right up front.
- Achievements from Steam and RetroAchievements, with your progress.
- Rate games with half stars, mark when you finished, and pick 4 favorites for your profile.
Your game diary
- Write a note or a review whenever you like, and add photos.
- No spoilers. Tick Contains spoilers and the text stays hidden until someone taps it.
- See what people think. Every game page shows reviews from everyone, plus notes from you and your friends.
Friends
- Add friends and see what they're playing.
- Find your Steam friends. When someone you know from Steam joins, you'll both get a nudge to connect here too.
- Comment, reply and @mention people. Use # to tag a game.
- Send a game to a friend you think they'd love.
- Compare libraries to see what you both own.
- Make lists of games, and share them so friends can add to them too.
- Invite people with a link of your own.
Game nights
- Invite your crew and see who's in before you start.
- Video game nights. Keep score match by match: tap the right half of a card for a point, the left half to take one back. The leader gets a crown.
- Already playing? Start a game night straight from the game you have open on Steam or RetroAchievements.
- Board game nights, with the extras you need set up before you start:
- Score, where you choose whether the highest or lowest score wins
- Roles that stay hidden as ??? until they're revealed. Perfect for Secret Hitler.
- Counters for gold, cards, lives, whatever the game tracks
- Teams and guest players who don't have an account
- Every night is saved. Look back at past game nights and who won.
- Log plays after the fact, with who played, who won, how long it took, notes and photos.
On your phone
- Install it like an app. Add GameNight to your home screen.
- Play with a controller. On a handheld like the Retroid Pocket or Steam Deck, or with any gamepad, the D-pad moves around, A selects, B goes back and L1/R1 switch tabs.
- Notifications for invites, friend requests, comments, mentions and more. You choose which ones you get.
- Works offline. Your library and game pages are saved on your phone. Anything you log while offline syncs when you're back. On a slow connection, GameNight will offer to switch to offline mode.
Your privacy, your call
- Choose who sees what: everyone, just friends, only your numbers, or nobody.
- Hide any game from your profile.
- Kids' accounts are set up and managed by a parent, who picks the game ratings they can see.
