Bring your Steam library into iPlayed
What connecting Steam does, what an import brings across, and how to handle unmatched games.
Sign in, then connect Steam
Sign in to iPlayed with Google or an email magic link. Steam is a linked account for importing games, rather than an iPlayed sign-in method. Open Settings from your account avatar, choose Library, and use Connect Steam.
The connection takes you through Steam’s OpenID flow and back to iPlayed. Before importing, check that Steam makes your game details accessible to its API. If your library cannot be read, review your Steam privacy settings and try again when the details are accessible.
Run the import and check the result
Choose Import library from Steam in Settings → Library. The import runs as a background job while iPlayed checks your owned Steam games and tries to match them to game records. Large libraries can take time because those lookups are processed sequentially.
Matched titles become library copies with Steam as the medium and playtime carried over as hours. The import gives you a starting inventory; it does not decide whether you have finished a game or supply your personal ratings, notes, or reviews.
Give unmatched titles a manual check
A Steam title may not find a suitable match in the game database. The import reports unmatched titles so you can review them rather than assuming that every game came across. Search manually for a title, check the result, and add a Steam copy if you find the correct game.
Pay particular attention to editions, similarly named games, and bundles. The right record matters more than filling every row quickly. If you already track a title on another platform, add the Steam version as another copy so the original progress and notes remain intact.
Know what a repeat import does
You can run the import again to pick up additional Steam games. Existing Steam copies are skipped to avoid creating duplicates. This is an import, rather than continuous synchronisation: running it again does not refresh playtime on a copy that was already imported.
After importing, use statuses and tags to make the library useful for your next gaming session. You can edit individual copies and export a CSV from Settings → Library whenever you want a portable record of your collection.
