12 questions

What is Watch Gameplay?

A games database with the footage attached. Every game in the catalogue has a page carrying its cover, its release, its genres, the platforms it runs on and its screenshots, and a critic score where IGDB holds one. Where we have played it, the footage sits on that same page.

Do the videos have commentary?

No. Every video is pure gameplay. No commentary, no facecam, no interruptions. You watch a game's story the way you would watch a film.

What is the gameplay captured on?

A PS5 Pro, and a PC running an RTX 5080 with every setting at maximum. Everything records in 4K HDR at 60 frames per second, and every player on this site asks YouTube for the best picture it has.

How often do new videos come out?

There is no fixed schedule. A run goes up when it is finished, not when a calendar says so, and a full walkthrough is an entire game played through to the credits. Subscribe on YouTube to catch each one the day it lands.

Will a video spoil the game for me?

Titles say exactly what they contain. A video called “Final Boss + Ending” shows the final boss and the ending. Nothing is hidden, so read the title before you press play.

Where does the game information come from?

From IGDB, the open games database. Release dates, platforms, companies, and critic scores are theirs, which is why every page credits IGDB.com in its footer. Genres are both: IGDB's, and the ones we file a game under ourselves. The artwork belongs to the games' publishers. The videos are ours.

Do I need an account?

No. Browse, search, and watch everything without one. An account is for keeping things: rate a game out of ten, save one for later, mark the ones you have played, and pick a walkthrough back up where you left it. An email address is all it takes. We send a link, and opening it signs you in.

Why does a game have no videos on it?

Because it has not been played yet. The catalogue is wider than the coverage on purpose: a game earns its page as soon as it is worth looking up, not once there is a walkthrough on it. Any page without footage says so at the top, and a Remind me button puts the game on the list of the ones people are waiting for.

What if the game I want isn't here?

Search for it anyway. If IGDB knows the game, the search builds it a page on the spot: the cover, the release, the summary, the screenshots. That page says plainly that there is no footage on it, because there is none. The search is also the signal, so the titles people look for most are the ones that get played.

Where are the wallpapers?

The section is live and it is stocked. 4,699 screenshots and pieces of key art across 296 games, at the highest resolution we hold. They are free for your own screens and your own wall, and the usage guidelines set out what you can do with one.

Can I use your clips in my own videos?

Short clips in reviews, essays, and commentary are fine, with credit and a link back to the channel. Full re-uploads are not. The usage guidelines spell out both.

How do I get in touch?

Through the contact form. It stores your message where only we can read it, and it is the route for clearing a clip, talking sponsorship, or telling us something on the site is wrong. There is no public email address to write to, and not every message gets a reply. Comments on the channel get read as well.
