Listing policy

This page explains what PLAYSHELF Browser Games lists, what it doesn't, and how we handle requests from creators.

What we list

We list games that got attention on X (formerly Twitter) and can be played straight away in a browser. The creator must have a public page for the game, and it must be playable without downloading anything. As a rule, we don't list games that need you to log in or pay before you can start.

Automatic listing

Most games are picked up automatically by a system that collects posts from X. A game is published automatically only when the original post has at least 1,000 likes, the game page opens, and a screenshot can be taken, and no more than 5 games are published this way per day. Games that miss a condition, or that may fall under "What we don't list" below, are held back until a person checks them.

What we don't list

We don't list games like these:

• Adult or sexual content
• Cruel content such as torture, sexual violence or violence against children (ordinary in-game combat in horror or action games is fine)
• Content that attacks people or groups, such as discrimination or harassment
• Content that harms real people or uses them as a subject without permission
• Gambling with money or anything that can be exchanged for money
• Content that encourages drug use or dangerous acts
• Games that ask for downloads, logins, payment or personal information, and deceptive content ("you've won", "guaranteed earnings" and so on)
• Pages that can't be played in the browser, such as store pages or video-only pages

When games are collected, they are screened automatically by keywords and link destinations. Matches are either dropped or held until a person checks them. Automatic screening can miss things, so games that were published automatically are also reviewed regularly. If you notice something, please let us know.

Fan-made games

Fan games that use characters or titles from other works are never published automatically; a person checks them first. If one is listed, its page says it is an unofficial fan-made game, and no ads are shown on that page.

Screenshots and titles

Cover screenshots are taken by opening the game's public page. For games with a short video, the video is a few seconds of gameplay recorded the same way, without sound. We don't capture screens that require a login or a purchase. Game titles and creator names are shown as originally written. The rights to the games and images belong to their creators. No games are hosted here; pressing Play takes you to the creator's site.

Descriptions and numbers

Descriptions are drafted by AI from the game's page and posts. Numbers such as likes on X are shown only when we link to the original post, together with the date they were taken.

For creators

If you'd like your game removed, a screenshot replaced, or the description, title or creator name corrected, please contact Contact & requests. Include the URL of the page and something that shows you are the creator or rights holder (for example, the X account that announced the game). We'll check and respond as soon as we can.

Reporting mistakes

If a game no longer works, a link has changed, or the devices or player count are wrong, please also contact Contact & requests. You don't need to be the creator.
