Video Games Database

Turn a vast catalog of 175,998 video games into something you can search, analyze, organize, and build with. The database connects game titles with release dates, platforms, genres, series, companies, and official websites, giving researchers, developers, publishers, collectors, and content teams a practical foundation for game discovery and catalog projects.

One game, clearly connected

Games stay in a clean primary table while platforms, genres, series, developers, publishers, and official websites are organized as related data. This structure makes it easier to filter across multiple systems or classifications without wrestling with flattened duplicate records.

Ready for spreadsheets, databases, and applications

Choose the level of detail that fits your project. Every tier includes matching UTF-8 CSV, JSON, and SQLite files, plus schemas, statistics, documentation, and representative samples so you can start exploring immediately.

Focused on useful game facts

The database is designed for research, cataloging, collection management, data analysis, editorial planning, and application development. It includes structured game information rather than heavy media assets, so downloads remain efficient and integration stays straightforward. Box art, screenshots, logos, reviews, ratings, and current retail prices are not included.
