Video Game Tracker - Excel

Here’s something most gamers won’t admit: they have no idea how many games they actually own. Titles spread across Steam, console shelves, and half-forgotten downloads add up fast. This video game tracker spreadsheet for Excel puts your entire library in one place so you can stop guessing and start playing.

The biggest problem with a growing collection is losing track of what you have. The Games tab handles that. Log up to 500 titles with cover art, genre, year, publisher, price, gaming status, and ownership status. A Source column records where each game came from, which matters when your library spans multiple storefronts. You also get personal rating fields for Overall, Story, Action, Fun, and Graphics, so every title gets scored on what you actually care about.

Deciding what to play next is its own headache. The Critic Ratings tab gives you outside perspective. Track reviews from sources you trust with the review date, score, rating, and a direct URL back to the original review. The sheet calculates average ratings across entries, so you can spot highly rated titles without opening a dozen browser tabs.

It is easy to lose track of how much time you spend gaming. The Journal tab fixes that by logging each session with the date, game name, duration, and notes. A line chart shows your progress over the past week, and summary stats display your games per week and average session time. No guesswork, just data.

Scattered stats are hard to act on. The Dashboard pulls everything into one view with summary cards for total games tracked, total games played, games in your collection, total critic ratings, total collection value, and games currently playing. Bar charts rank your top-rated games and critic favorites, a pie chart breaks down games with critic ratings, and a genre distribution chart rounds out the picture.

The Setup tab ships with over 30 genres including Action, Adventure, RPG, Battle Royale, Fighting, MMORPG, First Person Shooter, Platformer, and Puzzle. Customize the list to fit how you think about your library. This is a standard Excel file. No accounts, no subscriptions, no internet connection required. It lives on your computer, works offline, and you own it outright. Free updates and free support are included.
