MobyGames 25th Anniversary
Atari acquired MobyGames in March 2022 with the goal of supporting the site's mission to document, celebrate, and preserve vital information in its database. With incremental support from Atari, MobyGames was able to complete a comprehensive site upgrade ahead of schedule in February 2023. The new site infrastructure enabled more rapid development, and in the year since, MobyGames has seen hundreds of updates, including many new features and UI improvements for both desktop and mobile, making it easier than ever to explore and contribute to the database. In addition to more robust game data, users with a MobyGames account can rate, review, and manage their game collection. The MobyGames database now includes data on more than 350,000 games, 1 million individuals, and 50,000 companies.
Industry professionals, researchers, and enthusiast gamers can look forward to a new service called MobyPro, which is currently in early beta access. The subscription-based MobyPro offering provides users with full site access, additional features, and exclusive analytics data. The long-term vision for MobyGames is much more expansive, with a professional subscription for a suite of services geared towards individuals and organizations in the games industry, including verification, more control over profiles, including photos and work history, professional networking and more. MobyGames anticipates a multi-year rollout of these services.
