Do you have 1,000 untouched games collecting dust on Steam? Here's how to organize and manage your backlog.
When you hear the term “Spring Cleaning,” you probably think about the old mail you could throw away or that bathroom that needs scrubbing. Usually, it’s a physical process that involves tidying your space. But for gamers, their digital space can often become much more cluttered than their physical one. Case in point: The dreaded backlog.
Get Grouvee The most important step is simply getting organized. It’s easy to pick up tons of free games on dozens of platforms and completely forget what you own anymore. How many times have you bought a game only to realize you already own it on Steam thanks to some Humble Bundle you’ve forgotten about?
Those who want to support the project can also upgrade to Grouvee Gold to remove all banner ads from the site and get early access to new features. Grouvee is just one of many tools you can use. Heck, even a good Excel spreadsheet can keep you organized. As soon as you start writing games down, the less daunting it’ll seem when trying to wrangle your backlog.
You won’t have quite the same luck with every other platform, though there are little workarounds you can use to see what games you haven’t touched. For example, the Epic Games Store lets you see how much time you’ve spent in each game. If you haven’t touched a game at all, you’ll see a dash in the Time Played column. Use app and platform tools like that to build a visual system for your backlog.
To do that, you might want to bookmark How Long To Beat. The website lets players upload data on how long it took them to complete any game and creates an average playtime. It’s a tool I tend to use before starting any game. If I only have a weekend of free time, I don’t want to start a 60-hour game. It’s been a life-saver for me on countless occasions, especially when it comes to keeping my backlog tidy.
