Adding games to the library is one of the primary actions at RAWG. Rawgers have added more than 1.5 million games to their profiles. We have always wanted each category to represent a specific state of experience with a game: from waiting for the release to playing and then, hopefully, beating it. But there is always room for improvement and we have learned from our users that there are a couple of problems with our games menu.

Despite the “Want to play” option from the first day, a lot of players still created “Wishlist” collections. That was definitely a sign that we got the naming wrong here. A significant number of players wanted to just add a game to their libraries and choose a specific status later. Our menu had 5 equal priority options. Too many unfamiliar options for a newcomer.

Now the menu consists of two primary options. “Wishlist” is for the games you are waiting for or plan to buy and “My games” for any games you own or have ever played. Simple.

The old menu (left) and the new one (right).

You can choose the specific status while adding a game or you can just choose “My games” and decide on a specific status later in your library.

Of course, the buttons on the game page have also changed.

We hope you will like the changes. Play more games and never forget to add them to your libraries. Thanks for using RAWG!
