A look back at our 2025 beta updates

We’ve been slacking a bit on Patreon updates. All of our regular communication happens through the site, where we post monthly dev updates and share details about every new release, but we always seem to forget to cross-post them here. 😅

Most of you probably stay up to date through the main site and haven’t missed much, but for those who check in mostly through Patreon: sorry for the silence! We’ll do our best to post updates here from now on too.

Release 1.11.3: Playtime

We are back with the second part of the big playtime update! In 1.11.1 we added a contribution system that asked you to enter the time it took you to beat and/or complete games. We’ve been collecting this data for a little more than 2 months now and have been working hard on adding new features that will display this data in helpful ways!

Release 1.11.1

Today's release is a big one, and too much needs to be said to fit in a single Discord announcement, so we've written an accompanying post here to go into a bit more detail.

Image uploads

That's right, image uploads is coming out of the beta and is now available to everyone! A huge thank you to our Legends and Myths for testing the feature for us and helping us find bugs! Running this in beta first has really helped us, so we'll be looking forward to letting ...

Release 1.11.0 – Image uploads beta

Thanks the continued support of you amazing people it’s finally here after all those years – image uploads! It’s a feature that we, and many of you, have wanted for a long time but due to the impact such a feature has performance and storage it has always been out of reach due to costs that come with it.

With last year’s upgrade our server is finally stable enough to handle such a feature, and the increased storage should last us a while. We’ve also been ab...

Server Upgrade

As some of you may have noticed if you follow us on Discord, we’ve just finished migrating Infinite Backlog to a better server. There's still some kinks to work out with the redirect of our .nl domein, but we're fully functioning on https://infinitebacklog.net

This server upgrade is something we’ve wanted to do for a very long time because the growth of IB, both in services and users, was starti...

Release 1.10 - Play Log & Play Records

Release 1.10 is a big one, as it adds not one but two huge features. Infinite Backlog is already the best place to get insights on your backlog and log your entire cross-platform collection, but with these new feature it’ll also be the place to keep track of the games you’re playing right now!

We are super proud to introduce the Play Records and revised Play Log. Both of these are (new) sections on every game in your collection. They offer a lot ...

New Patreon Tier: Backlog Myth

A while back a few of you brought up wanting a third Patreon tier. This isn’t something we had considered before because we are content with the Legend features we have now. While we love to show our appreciation for all the support you guys are giving us, we think that locking regular users, that may not have the means to support us even if they wanted to, out of things isn’t the way.

But after some consideration with decided to go ahead and add a new tier. The ...
