Context
In an increasingly saturated gaming market, gamers often struggle to keep up with new game releases across multiple game platforms, and seeing news across many different social media platforms. Existing solutions, such as platform based wishlists, lack cross-platform tracking and social integration. PlayQ addresses this gap by offering a centralized and user-friendly experience, allowing gamers to track upcoming games, manage their wishlists efficiently, and stay connected with their gaming groups.

“Every year, thousands of new games are released—but how do you keep track of the ones you actually care about?”
So Many Games, So Little Visibility
No centralized, easy-to-use system for tracking new releases.
Gamers miss out on games they would love.
Endless release announcements scattered across platforms.
Forgetting about a game until it's too late (or missing pre-orders).
No easy way to organize upcoming releases.
New releases slip through the cracks.
Keeping up shouldn’t feel like work.
