This page is a list of video game-related topics for which editors have requested articles be created. Any editor can submit, review, or otherwise help manage requests. There are currently 47 requests on this page and 349 archived requests.

Before placing a request, be advised of the following:

1. Only add requests for notable topics. Subjects require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject for articles to be created. Requests must include external links to multiple reliable sources that prove its notability. See WP:VG/RS for more information about reliable sources for video games.
   • Do not place requests with insufficient sources in hopes for more sources to be found later. If a topic does not have enough right now, it should not be added. Do not use this page as a source aggregator.
   • Do not place requests for remasters, compilations, or expansions. Though there are exceptions, these topics are usually better discussed in articles about the original games. Add sources to those articles' talk pages instead.
2. Most requests are never fulfilled. If you look at old revisions of this page, you will notice that many requests still have red links. (2017, 2014) There are also hundreds of requests that have been archived due to no action being taken on them. Requests can sit for several years before being assessed, and any editor may remove a request from the list if they deem it not notable. If you really want to see an article made, it is a better idea to make it yourself.
3. Old requests are archived. In an effort to keep the list manageable, games that do not have substantial coverage beyond reviews and release information will be moved to an archive if the request is not acted upon within a year. The intent is to limit the list to new requests, and topics that are highly notable and should be prioritized. Requests in the archive can still be reviewed for creation as any other request. Before placing a request, ensure it is not in the archive list. If new substantial material is published for a topic in the archive, it can be moved back to this page.
