GameWall is your personal video game catalog: organize your collection, your wishlist and your backlog, and share them with your friends. YOUR COLLECTION, YOUR WAY A wall with every cover you own, grouped by platform with collapsible sections, or by series, with the covers fanned out. A copy counter when you own the same game on several consoles, and filters by platform, edition, status or name. ADD GAMES IN SECONDS Search by title, scan the barcode on the box, or sweep your whole shelf with the camera and review what it recognized before adding it. YOUR AMIIBO TOO Scan an amiibo by tapping your phone, or search for it by name in the catalog, and add it to your collection or your wishlist. Every figure has its own page, with the compatible games per console and what it does in each one. Group your amiibo collection by series or by amiibo line, just like your games. WISHLIST AND BACKLOG Save what you want to buy and what you still have to play. Share your wishlist by link: perfect for gifts, and for not buying the same game twice. FRIENDS Invite your friends, browse their collection and wishlist, and decide whether yours is visible. DISCOVER Curated sections with the most anticipated releases, new arrivals and the best of each platform. STATS How many games you own and how they split across your consoles. Works with collections across PlayStation (PS5, PS4, PS3, PS2, PSX, PSP, Vita), Nintendo (Switch, Wii U, Wii, GameCube, N64, SNES, NES, 3DS, DS, Game Boy), Xbox (Series, One, 360, original), PC and retro consoles. Built natively for iPhone and iPad, with a Liquid Glass tab bar on iOS 26. Game data provided by IGDB.
