MobyGames Professional has already let thousands of developers claim their public credit page in Atari's database. The product entered beta in June 2026 and version 1.0 is due this autumn. Product manager Reece Denzel discussed it with GamesIndustry.biz at Gamescom; Eurogamer followed up this weekend.
What the feature does
MobyGames has listed game credits for decades. There is now a button to claim the page and tie an account to that public profile. A verified professional can edit personal details and explain what they actually did on a project — beyond a vague job title.
Denzel was clear: claiming a page does not let anyone rewrite the credit structure. Historical verification is unchanged since Atari bought the site in March 2022.
How fraud is blocked
Identity checks are human-driven and run in the background. People who try to claim games they never worked on hit that filter. Cases of omitted names, misspelled credits or defunct studios are on the radar, but official record edits still follow the old process.
Signups in beta were “great,” Denzel said, with thousands of pages already claimed. Industry reports mention a free tier for claiming a profile and a planned premium near $14.99 a month for networking and market data — figures that still depend on the 1.0 launch.
Why it matters
MobyGames Professional tries to turn a fan archive into a verifiable résumé. In an industry of layoffs and missing credits, linking a public sheet to a real identity is more than nostalgia: it is proof of work. Source: Eurogamer.
