MetaGamerScore

What MetaGamerScore is

MetaGamerScore is a free web service that brings achievement records from multiple gaming platforms into a persistent metascore. It assigns values to achievements based on rarity, and says popularity and rarity affect game and achievement values. The homepage says the service supports 30 platforms and game services, and has retained history from 8 retired integrations. Listed integrations include Steam, PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, GOG, RetroAchievements, and Roblox. Players can compare games and achievements with friends, and compete in global, country, yearly, crew, completist, and world-first rankings. The community features also let users form crews, challenge friends, and share achievement guides. MetaGamerScore requires no client installation. Its FAQ says it does not request gaming passwords and collects only information accessible without them. When possible, it preserves linked accounts and achievement history after an integration closes; the site says it has done so since its 2011 launch. The service is not open source. Optional Patreon pledges offer monthly perks such as more frequent achievement scans, ad removal, custom profile and crew URLs, and extra crew slots.
