How to sync your Playnite Library Play Data?
Centralize and automatically sync your entire gaming history! Playnite can sync your PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch 2 and other platforms.
1. Setup Your Playnite Library
Download and install Playnite on your PC. Connect your favorite platforms (Steam, Epic, GOG, PSN, or Xbox Live) using Playnite's native integrations.
Tip: To track unmodded Nintendo Switch/2 systems, you can also link your Nintendo account via the Exophase Importer plugin inside Playnite!

Grab our official integration plugin from the GitHub repository: PhalkProfiles-Playnite. This extension is what bridges your local library data with your web profile.
3. Save Credentials & Sync
Open the plugin settings inside Playnite, enter your phalk.net/profiles login details, and click save. Your stats will now automatically upload and update every time you launch Playnite or play a game using Playnite!
How to sync your Steam library directly?
Steam is supported directly by Phalk Profiles. Playnite is still recommended when you want to combine Steam with other platforms in one library or sync the last played time from Steam.
1. Make your Steam data public
Set your Steam profile and game details to Public. Private profiles and private game libraries cannot be read by the Steam API.
2. Add your Steam account
Open My Preferences and enter your numeric Steam ID, Steam handle, or complete Steam profile URL. Save the account.
3. Synchronize
Click Sync Steam now in Preferences. Your Steam library, playtime and available achievements will be imported.
Steam limitations
The integration can only import data exposed by Steam. Some games may not provide achievement details, and Steam may omit the exact last-played date even when the profile is public. Steam also does not replace Playnite for combining multiple platforms.
