When will I finish my whole game backlog?
Queue each game's remaining time in your chosen order to calculate start dates, completion dates, and when the backlog clears.
Method and interpretation
Review each start and finish, total backlog hours, and weekly throughput. Random order remains stable for an unchanged list.
Why the result can vary
New purchases, abandoned games, parallel play, updates, and changes in real availability alter the timeline.
Example
A 218-hour backlog
Inputs: Games of 42, 31, 65, and 80 hours; one hour weekdays and three hours each weekend day
Outcome: The weekly 11 hours are scheduled day by day to show every start, finish, and final clear date.
Cautions
- Unlisted purchases and future content are not added automatically.
- Long-range dates are sensitive to the assumption that today's schedule continues.

Frequently asked questions
Can I play several games in parallel?
The base forecast completes one at a time in your chosen order. For parallel play, adjust the manual order or compare separate scenarios.
Does random order change on refresh?
No. An unchanged list uses a deterministic seed so the comparison stays reproducible.
Can a backlog fail to shrink forever?
Yes. If incoming game hours equal or exceed weekly throughput, sustainability reports that it is not shrinking. This compares flows; it is not a lifespan claim.
