The sheer volume of upcoming games can be overwhelming, leading many players to develop personal systems for tracking titles they're interested in. Some, like PC Gamer's Lauren, have created custom "to-play" shelves within their Steam libraries. This method allows for a curated visual list of games to consider for future play sessions.

However, digital shelves are just one approach. The PC Gamer staff employ a diverse range of methods, from using notes apps that have been carried across multiple phone upgrades to more elaborate systems. The question of how to effectively manage a backlog and an ever-growing list of desired games remains a common challenge for many in the gaming community. These personal tracking systems often evolve over time, reflecting individual preferences and technological changes.
