Gaming Schedule
A backlog is a list of things you meant to play. A gaming schedule is a list of things you are going to play, on a day, at a time. Put your sessions in a calendar, host game nights other people can join, and get a nudge before a Game Pass title leaves the catalog for good.
Game nights happening next
Three steps, no spreadsheet
-
1
Pick the game
Search the Game Pass catalog and attach a real title to the session. You will see which tier it needs and whether it is due to leave, before you commit the evening.
-
2
Put it in the calendar
Set a start and finish. The scheduler handles the rest — a reminder before it begins, an .ics file for your own calendar app, and recurring slots if it is a weekly fixture.

Invite people, or don't
Keep it private as a personal gaming timetable, or make it public so other players can RSVP. Public sessions land on the game nights board and get their own share link.

What is a gaming schedule?
A gaming schedule is a plan of when you are going to play, and what. It can be as simple as a personal game calendar that keeps your backlog moving, or a shared timetable that gets a group into the same lobby without a dozen messages. The point is the same either way: decide in advance, so playing does not depend on everyone happening to be free at once.
How do I make a gaming schedule?
Pick the games you actually intend to finish, give each one a realistic slot in the week, and keep the list short enough that you believe it. Our scheduler does the bookkeeping: add a game, set a time, and it tracks the session, reminds you before it starts, and adds it to your calendar. For group sessions you can share one link instead of agreeing a time in chat.
Can I schedule game nights with other people?
Yes. A game night is a scheduled session other people can join. Make it public and it appears on the game nights board for anyone to RSVP to, or keep it private and share the invite link with the people you want. Hosts can cap the player count, require a mic, set a skill level and approve who joins.
Does it work with Xbox Game Pass?
It is built around it. Every session is attached to a game from the Game Pass catalog, so you can see the tier it needs before you commit, and whether it is due to leave the service. Scheduling something that is leaving soon is the most useful thing this does — it turns "I will get to it" into a date.
Is the gaming schedule free?
Yes. Creating a schedule, hosting game nights and joining other people's sessions are all free with an account. You only need to sign in so your sessions, reminders and RSVPs follow you between devices.
Start with one session
Pick the game that has been sitting in your library the longest and give it a slot this week. That is the whole trick.
