Looking for a Backloggd alternative?
Media Tracker is a free game tracker that follows the games and studios you care about and tells you the day before a release lands — and it keeps your games on the same calendar as the films, shows, books and music you’re waiting on.
Why players switch
Follow games — and the studios behind them
Follow a specific game or a whole developer. Follow a studio and every game it announces shows up automatically, so you never miss the next title from a team you love.
Know the day a game drops
Get an email or push notification the day before release. Dates are re-checked daily, so delays and newly announced launch dates reach you instead of catching you off guard.
Games alongside your films, shows and books
Your backlog doesn’t have to live in its own app. Games share one follow list and release calendar with the movies, TV, books and music you’re tracking.
Free, no ads, independent
Media Tracker is free and ad-free, built by an independent developer, and installs to your home screen as an app with push notifications.

What Backloggd still does better
An honest note: Backloggd has a passionate games community, a deep culture of reviews, ratings and lists, and detailed backlog and completion stats — and there’s no Backloggd import into Media Tracker yet, so you re-follow your games by hand. If logging and rating your whole backlog among other players is the point, Backloggd is the better fit. Media Tracker is for people who want a free, simple way to follow upcoming games and never miss a launch — across games and everything else they track.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Media Tracker a good Backloggd alternative?
- It is if you mainly want to keep track of upcoming games and not miss a release. Media Tracker lets you follow games and studios, reminds you the day before launch, and keeps games next to the films, TV, books and music you track — all free.
- Can I import my Backloggd games?
- Not yet — there is no one-click Backloggd import. You follow the games and studios you want to track, which takes a minute, and their release dates are then kept current for you.
- Does it notify me when a game comes out?
- Yes. Follow any upcoming game or a developer and Media Tracker emails or push-notifies you the day before release. Dates are re-synced daily, so changes and newly dated games reach you automatically.
- What does Backloggd still do better?
- Backloggd has a dedicated games community, a strong culture of reviews, ratings and curated lists, and detailed backlog stats. Media Tracker isn’t a games social network — it focuses on tracking releases and alerting you across games and every other kind of media.
