Playthis positions itself as a "prediction market for gamers," with the core idea of turning various suspense points in gaming culture into questions that can be predicted. Users use PXP (PlayThis experience points) to make bet-like predictions on outcomes: correct predictions earn more PXP, while incorrect predictions lose the PXP already invested. Free users receive 100 PXP per day, Pro users receive 250 PXP per day, and the user with the highest monthly prediction accuracy can win rewards.
In terms of prediction content, the platform's markets cover a wide range, including game release dates, Metacritic scores, Game Awards results, esports match winners and losers, Steam concurrent player peaks, and more. Example markets involve whether GTA VI receives a 2026 Game of the Year nomination, whether the new Call of Duty title exceeds 200,000 Steam concurrent players in its launch week, and so on. Community members can also propose new markets; Pro users can propose up to 5 markets per day, while free users can propose 1; the community votes on proposals, and markets with high vote counts go live. The platform also features prediction leaderboards, monthly competitions, and season-pass-style event markets.
Game library management is another core capability. Users can connect Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation accounts with one click, automatically importing their full game library, playtime, and wishlist. For Switch, retro, or other platforms, manual tracking is also available. After importing, games can be sorted by Metacritic, HLTB (How Long to Beat), and platform-exclusive PlayValue and ReplayValue metrics. Users can add games, track status, log play sessions, create collection lists, write reviews, and manage digital, physical, and subscription-based ownership information. Personal profiles centrally display prediction accuracy, prediction records, favorite games, ratings, reviews, and lists, and support personalization settings such as custom backgrounds, Pro badges, animated GIF avatars, extended bios, and bio links. Users can also follow others, share profiles, and choose to hide certain games.

The platform is powered by IGDB data, and the official page lists the copyright as © 2026 PlayThis LLC. The FAQ explains that each market in the prediction market is a question about a game event, and users use PXP to support an outcome; daily PXP is 100 for free users and 250 for Pro users; importing is done automatically by connecting the corresponding platform account, and manually tracking games on other platforms is also supported; Pro members can propose markets through a guided wizard, and after community voting, the markets with the most votes go live.
Use cases include: gamers tracking and organizing their cross-platform game libraries, writing reviews, and creating lists; users with good judgment about game releases, ratings, awards, and esports events participating in predictions and competing on leaderboards; content creators or community organizers running community activities through private prediction leagues and event passes. In terms of limitations, use of the platform depends on account connections and the scope of platform support; predictions are made with PXP points and are not real-money transactions; the specific price of Pro, regional availability, and the specific forms and claiming methods of rewards are not yet provided in the official text.
