What's new

IGDB Auto-Import

Automatically pull popular upcoming game releases from IGDB on a daily or weekly schedule.

  • Import as Published or Draft — choose whether games go live immediately or land in a review queue
  • Hype threshold — only import games with a minimum IGDB hypes score
  • Look-ahead window — configurable how far into the future to fetch (30–730 days)
  • Import limit — configurable max games per run (10–500, default 50)
  • Platform filter — pick which platforms to import for (PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, iOS, Android)
  • Suppress Discord instant alerts for bulk imports (daily/weekly digests still fire)
  • Run Now button in Settings to trigger an import on demand

Automatic date sync

Every import run also syncs existing IGDB-linked entries:

  • Updates release dates when IGDB changes them
  • Updates cover images on all IGDB-linked entries
  • Updates post titles on auto-imported entries (manually created entries are left untouched)
  • Moves cancelled games (IGDB status = Cancelled) to Draft automatically

Smarter release date handling

  • Games with only a year-level or TBD date on IGDB are skipped and picked up automatically once IGDB publishes a real date
  • Quarter-precision dates (Q1–Q4) are placed on the first day of that quarter
  • Month-precision dates are placed on the first of that month

Draft entries on the admin calendar

  • Drafts are now visible on the admin calendar (dashed, semi-transparent)
  • One-click Publish button on draft events in the calendar popover
  • Draft label works in both month and list views

All Items improvements

  • New Drafts filter link
  • New Auto-imported filter link
  • Publish row action on draft entries

IGDB connection badge

  • Selecting a game in the IGDB search now shows a persistent connection badge (cover thumbnail + "Connected to IGDB" label + link)
  • Change button reveals the search again without clearing the existing connection until a new game is chosen
  • Badge also appears when editing an already-linked entry

Other

  • Deleted entries block their IGDB ID from being re-imported
  • Import stats (new / updated / cancelled) shown in Settings after each run

Upgrade notes

No database migrations required. Enable Auto-Import under Game Calendar → Settings → Auto-Import and configure your hype threshold and platforms.
