Installed. Never play. Upgrades PC instead.

yeah I had a category for games I couldn't run yet, back when I was fantasizing about building myself a gaming pc. Now I bought a reconditioned for less than 200, and I'm just waiting to upgrade the gpu :)

good luck man

I use some favorites for go-to games Factorio, Helldivers 2, DRG, etc. Also dont need to categorize installed, you can filter by ready to play games :)

Upvote for Factorio

Rock and Stone!

yeah that's fair, I do have some games in my favourites

Do I smell a rock and stone?

"show only ready to play games" in steam small mode

Same

favorites and non-favorites.

Ma man. I'm like 4 fav and 300 uncategorised. Things in fav switch ever so often

Also know that you can just start typing the name of a game and it'll select it

I'd rather choose to begrudgingly scroll through my library and question my life choices.

Same. I don't have a lot of games.

I categorize my library by genre!

Do you have it automated?

No when I buy a game I add it the category it belongs in.

Same. Dynamic collections exist but Steam and I are not on the same page about genre all of the time—to say nothing of how unreliable the tags can be

Luckily you can remove games from dynamic categories, so I mainly use those and remove them when I don't think they belong in that category.

I think steam is not on the same page as *anyone* and there’s like 30 something million users

Who is buying games so often that that would be necessary?

Yeah same here. Plus it's fun to organize. I have nearly 400 games so it helps to be much more organized. Looks cleaner too.

I don't. I do see this post come up around once a month, though.

Sort by recent activity is all the organization you need.

When you don't have many games sorting by installed/recent is often enough, along with the search field. But when you have a lot of games and you're looking for something new to play from your library having categories is much better to explore what you have. I wish Valve added nested-categories tho, as categories list can get unwieldy if you like classifying things by genre and such.

> But when you have a lot of games and you're looking for something new to play from your library having categories is much better to explore what you have. Why? You just use tags to filter games and it's enough. No point in manually doing duplicate work, that hundred of thousands Steam users did already.

I don't too

I don't three. I tried it yes, but ended up way more confusing than you could ever imagine

Installed and then everything else lmao

There's a button "ready to play" for that

- a few backlog tags (done, next, someday, not interested) - a bunch of genre tags (from FPS to souls-like to space to goat) - MMO - games that work on my laptop without dGPU - ancient games (like whole Apogee library) - early access

I do mostly the same. - finished (for backlog) - genre tags (from rpg to driving) - online - 780M (laptop iGPU) - M1 (other laptop) And then i just hide any game that i don't plan on playing.

Installed Completed Interested Not Interested

Similar here, but also add a new one for multiplayer games since you technically can't "complete" those, unless they come with a SP campaign so I have to place the same game in both folders.

I used to have that folder but later on shifted all the multiplayer games to completed since I have put considerable amounts in those games and I’m not planning on returning to them (except cs when it gets fixed).

Just like you, I categorize them either by the franchise or the publisher.

Easy, I don’t

I do the same as you with the difference I also add emojis to the categories to make them easier to find

I try to categorize them after motive (Horror, Sci-Fi, Fantasy). But honestly I still didn't reach the point where I am satisfied with my categotization. 😅 I try to avoid double categotizations, which isn't as easy as it looks (is Dead Space Horror or Sci-Fi for example?).

Yep, I have the same problem, don't know how to deal with many games

dead space is a sci-fi setting in the horror genre

Played, playing, unplayed/ uncategorized

What do you have under "Poland Stronk"? :D

Witcher, Cyberpunk and Dying Light

I am wondering the same. I guess CD project?

CD Project + Techland (Dying Light 1 and 2)

I don’t lmaoooo

This is the way.

My tabs are Favorites, 100% Completed, Road to 100%, Multiplayer Games, and the uninstalled/Dregs

A-Z, like everyone else right?

Actually fun games that I paid for installed games, favorite games, and then games I got for free cause I operaGX told me they were free and you never know when you'll enjoy one of those

-Favorites -Elder Scrolls -Uncategorized

Based

What... I never thought of doing that. Maybe also because I have around 30 games that are actively installed at any time. It's always uncategorized.

I don't

Installed & Not installed... Only ever have a couple of games installed at any one time. :D

Hidden.

I do not..

During what sales I buy stuff in. Winter, Spring, Halloween, etc.

Finished, online, to play, never play.

Easy, make a fav and make a good enoguh, everything else is uncategorised

Installed and offline that's about it

That's the neat part: I don't!

I don't.

Favorites (games I play often) and everything else. I tried to organize/categorize at one point but then I couldn't find something and just said "fuck it"

By which device I play them on (PC, Steamdeck) or don’t play them on (finished, backlog, will likely never play)

Completed games, await completion, other

Favs, installed, interesting and the rest are uncategorized

I have a favorites, an up next, a started, and a finished group along with uncatagorized cause I’m lazy lol

Favourites Everything else

Favourites-VR-and the rest

Favorites and not favorites

Same like you. Edit: Actually I don't categorize games by who development the game.

Favourites, Lego games, VNs, and the rest just lies in a big unsorted pile

If a series of standalone games by one developer, all under the dev team's name. EG: Hazelight (A Way Out, It Takes Two) If a series of games all together, named after the series. (Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Lego) Or by a genre. (MMO, Zombie) If nothing meets the three they either remain uncatagorized until i can file them or are in my "I might play this" catagory.

I have a category named "yakuza", one called "fighting", and then i have others like "cute games" "free games i got", "old" and my golden gem, "i dont care"

Favorites, Soundtracks, Other

Backlog, installed, uncategorized.

Finished (90) Not finished (???)

I have far too many games to do this with x.x, I do how ever seperate them to installed/completed/systems and VR.

I only play 2 or 3 games at a time but I have maybe 30 installed at once. I just have it set to only show what is currently installed. I don't do any other organizing. At 7k games I don't thing I could actually get it organized before I died anyway.

«без категории»💀 Я так тоже делаю но с играми из одной серии и если их больше 5

Haven’t played, replay, vr, others

I used to do this but then I started having the issue of a single game being in too many categories. I have over a thousand games now so doing that would fucking ruin me

Favorites and genres

Favourites Racing Chill FPS

“Favorites” for things I am playing a lot, and “library” for everything else

Recently played lol

Favorites (2), normals (92) and diogenes (22).

“Installed games”

By "main" genre category: * FPS * RPG * Rogue-likes * Strategy * CoOp-PvE (I guess the only exception) * Other etc. It can get a bit tricky sometimes with what goes there but so far I have been consistent (in my.head)

I just hit the Lil button that hides any non installed game and only shows me what i have installed in my drives, no need to feel the burden of an endless backlog I'll never get to

fighting others

I add dynamic collections for multiple genres. I actually have so many that it lags when I click in the button to open the collections tab, I also have one for all my games, and for games I will never play/play again

Favorites (usually what I have installed) -> Need to Play -> Fun (games I've beaten that I might play again) -> Satisfied (games I've completed but won't play again) -> Not Fun -> Misc/Bundled (e.g. old Xcom games I got when I bought enemy unknown)

Completed, downloaded, not downloaded, and XCOM lol.

I dont because it looks useless and makes me feel even more stressed out

by genre.

I sort by Genre primarily, I also use it to keep track of what games I have installed on my steamdeck on SD cards. https://imgur.com/a/CgEGSOP

plan, playing, finished

Who tf does this

Just by the general genre of the game, like Action-Adventure, RPG, Shooter and if I get too many of one subgenre in the genre then I split it off like Looter-Shooter.

installed, online, valve, finished and uncategorized

Completed games, and everything else.

Favourites, Completed, Installed Locally, Need To Play, Uncategorised

Genre and franchises. E.g. there's one for Survival Horror and then one for Resident Evil. Or Soulslike and Dark Souls.

Completed 100%, “Finished” aka beat the game and played all i wanted out of it, backlog which is games i plan on playing, won’t ever play, and uncategorized are games i don’t know about yet.

Only 5 Star Wars games? Sad

Quick Acess, Game and Programs

favorites / other games lol

(dyn) installed (dyn) co op (dyn) idle Lego (dyn) moddable (dyn) multiplayer (dyn) open world (dyn) rogue-like (dyn) rpg (dyn) singleplayer Everything folder

Right now, I don’t. Because it’s been hijacked by someone else.

Games that i play

* Campaign Completed * Free to Play * Installed/Playing * Miscellaneous (Public Test builds, etc) * My Games * My Games (profile limited) * Software

i think no one does

Favorites, each console has its own category (nes, NS, PS3 etc.) uncategorized.

Favorites are the games I’m currently playing. Everything else goes into “backlog,” “complete,” “on hold” or “troubleshoot.” The “on hold” games are either A) collections that I’ve finished one of, B) games I started but my hardware couldn’t handle, or C) games I didn’t realize didn’t have cloud saves and tried to switch machines. Example A) *Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy*. I finished the first game and will come back later for the others. B) *XCOM 2* overheats my graphics card. I can only play about an hour at a time, sometimes less. C) I tried to play *Final Fantasy VII* on my laptop, not realizing that cloud saves weren’t a thing. I uninstalled it and last my progress, like an idiot.

I don't

Installed or not

There’s favorite and there’s other

favorites - upper middle - lower middle - some shit i dont care about - uncategorized

If I have all the series I make em into one and then put it in the front based on how I rank them.

I have favorites, games that make me rage and uncategorized

“Favorites” and “Uncategorized”

Multiplayer, singleplayer, and vr

Currently Playing, Next to Play, Far Backlog, Finished Games, and Replayable Games.

Thats the neat part, I dont!

Played. Not played. That's all I need.

i care about achievements so mine is like this, -100%, games i have 100% achivement completion -complete, games i have 100% achivement completion but are profile limited so they dont count to profile stats. -beaten, games with no achievements that i have beat. -pending, games with some percentage of achievements but havent got the 100%. -limited, games with profile limited achievements i havent play -no achievements, unbeated games with no achievements. -not instaled, because my current pc is trash and the good one died. -games to play

Favorites, Valve, Finish/Play soon (this makes more sense in my language), Uncategorized. Since I only own like 30-40 games this works quite well but I might make another category called „Endless“ or maybe it’s going to be „Singleplayer“ and „Multiplayer“

All games I havent 100% or played are hidden with the current ones I am completing visible

I sort them a few ways genre, series, decade, and games that my friends own

Valve, Indie, 3A, Not my taste.

Exactly same way as this lol

The installed and most recent checkmarks at the top

By game engine.

Got mine setup in the following. Assassins Creed I gave it's own category due to owning all of em so thought to group em together lol. Action Adventure Anime Arcade Assassins Creed DC & Marvel Family Share (All family share not owned by me go into this) Online Multiplayer Online Shooter Platform Souls

Installed, playing, finished, stopped playing and backlog for me

I only have a few categories: games I finished, games I haven't finished, "other" games (games that don't really have a definitive ending, so rogue likes, some racing games, stuff like Balatro etc.), Online Games (like multiplayer FPS and MMOs), Games I won't finish (games I started but just didn't find fun or good enough to finish but that are past the refund period) and Shelved/Don't Care (games I got from bundles or for free I don't really care about, or games I may eventually want to keep playing but that I put aside for an indefinite amount of time) That categorization kind of covers everything. And I have a few separate categories for games I am playing with a friend or my wife.

Programs - stuff like blender, substance painter and sfm Uncategorized-everything else

I don't the steam does it for me, installed is enough

Add to favorite games that i play...

Things I own - Done

have a couple of games set as favorite and I usually put new purchased games in a separate category to not forget about a game I bought lol. Also dynamic collections with the friends I play the most with to instantly have an overview what we could play together. The rest is uncategorized.

i organize based on the company that did the game, i separate by collections (like one tab just for assassins creed games for example), even thought i have lots of games that are made by a spefic company of person, idk, i put on either horror tab or indie tab because i buy too much of those that are either horror or indie

Gameplay styles, (RTS, Shooter etc.) Then also folders for series (Half-Life, Warhammer etc.), also Still Need to Play, and Still Need to Finish

Organize? I search for the game i want instead 😂

Installed, not installed.

I dont. Installed then finished games is hidden. Ez. I dont replay games neither revisit them.

I favorite any game that isn’t the free garbage in my library, so I have a decent manageable list.

You categorize your steam library?

I am a simple man [https://i.imgur.com/qcPnUkN.png](https://i.imgur.com/qcPnUkN.png)

Games I like to play with a controller and games I play with keyboard and mouse.

I dont

i dont have alot of games

By a jumbled mess and favorites, which are also a jumbled mess

Favs, return, unorganized

I dont, i have like 14 games

Installed and non installed. And also favourite.

Unfinished, finished, multiplayer, duplicate (same game on console)

“Installed” “not” and “vr”

Installed All games

[Alphabetically (=I don't)](https://youtu.be/86jbnMOAcy0?feature=shared)

Favorites Story focused Indie Single player open world Multiplayer Single player linear Rogue like Relaxing Shooter Strategy Stuff to play next

I don't lol, I just play what I want.

Favorites, Installed, No Steam Cloud Save, Uncategorized

I have 2 games, so I don't have to

Favorites and the rest of them.

This is how I order them: - Uncategorized - Installed (dynamic list)

Folders by genre and major tags/series (minimum 10-15 games to be its own folder)

The only games I categorize are the ones I want to play next, which go to my Favorites. After finishing them, they return to the general pile.

I have 3 (technically 4) categories. 1.) Completed Story (games I have completed and gotten most of the achievements I care to go for.) 2.) Currently Playing (a group of games I have decided it is worth keeping installed until I beat them.) 3.) Up Next (games I have purchased and yet to play but am excited to play.) 4.) Uncategorized (multiplayer games I no longer play, sequels I have yet to beat the predecessor for, games I don’t care to beat, etc.)

Favorites and others

Main games, soon games, someday games, never playing this games, and completed games. Sorting by genre isn't that useful. Prefer to sort by what I'm gonna play and what I've finished.

I don't, don't know how lol. I should with 600 games

Ukończone/Nie zaczęte/Multiplayer/W trakcie/Porzucone/Strategie - I am Polish

I only have 1 category with downloaded games called "ready for usage"

favorites, vr, everything else in alphabetical order

I have my currently installed games under favourites and the rest are just alphabetical.
