Claiming your profile
See what a player.gg profile lets you do, how to get an invite, and how to claim your username.
What a profile lets you do#
Your player.gg account lets you join playtests. A profile adds a public username and lets you take part in the community:
- Comment and reply on posts. See Comments and replies.
- Collect games in up to 6 personal collections. See Collecting games.
- Get credit for your finds. Game links you share include your handle, so people can credit you under Discovered via.
Writing posts and reviews requires curation rights.
Get an invite#
There are two ways to get access:
- Accept an invite from a friend. Players with invites to share can find their links in Account settings. Open the link, then sign in or create an account.
- Apply to become a curator. If your curator application is approved, you can claim a profile without a friend’s invite.
The claim page is not available until you have access.
Claim your username#
Once you have access, open Claim your profile and pick an available username. Every username is unique across player.gg. You can also upload a profile picture or use one from a connected Steam or Discord account.
Your username becomes your player.gg profile address. After you claim it, you will be taken to your new profile.
While username claiming remains invite-only, you can return to the same page and change your username freely. Changing it also changes your profile link. Some limitations will apply once claiming opens to everyone.
Build your public profile#
Your profile is a place to share who you are and take part in the player.gg community. You can add a bio, profile and banner images, and links to your other profiles.
Your game collections appear on your profile in one place that is easy to share. With curation rights, it also brings together your posts and reviews.
Add curation rights#
Curation rights are not a separate kind of profile. They add publishing tools to the profile you already have, and your username, collections, and comments stay as they are.
