Search, import and manage a full games catalog from IGDB — cover art, screenshots, platforms, genres, ratings and more, mapped straight onto a WordPress "Game" post type.
Works with WordPress 5.8+ · needs a free Twitch/IGDB developer account · pairs with the free GameSync PixelWire themeAdd your free Twitch developer Client ID and Secret under Settings. A "test connection" button confirms it's working.
Import one game at a time, or queue up hundreds and let a batched background job bring them all in.
A polished single-game template ships with the plugin — no page-building or theme setup required.
Queue up a whole catalog and the importer works through it in small batches in the background, so a single request never has to run long enough to hit a server timeout. "Resync All" uses the same batched approach to refresh every game already imported when IGDB's data changes.
[igdb_game id="123"] shortcode plus an automatic, theme-overridable front-end template.No — IGDB's API is free to use via a Twitch developer account. You just need to create one and generate a Client ID and Secret.
IGDB enforces its own request limits. The importer throttles every request to stay comfortably under them, so imports may take a little longer on very large batches, but they won't get your API key blocked.
It re-fetches that game's data from IGDB and updates the post — useful when a rating changes or a new screenshot is added upstream. Any manual edits you've made, like a custom download link, are left alone.
Free to install and free to use, bulk import included. If it saves you time, a coffee is always appreciated.
