Games ​

Everything in LFG Hub is organized around games. A game is a title you enable on your server — Helldivers 2, Fortnite, Rocket League, Marvel Rivals, and so on — and each game carries its own set of filters that players use when looking for a group.

How games work ​

When you add a game through /setup-lfg-channel, the bot pulls its metadata — name, cover art, alternate names, and max player count — from the IGDB game database. If the game you want isn't known yet, the autocomplete lets you search for it and request that it be added.

Each game has a set of option types (the filters) and each option type has selectable options:

Option typeExample options
PlatformPC, PlayStation, Xbox
Group sizeDuo, Trio, custom
Game modeRanked, Casual, specific playlists
RegionNA, EU, Asia
RankThe game's rank tiers
LanguageAny language your community uses
VoiceDiscord voice, In-game voice, No voice

One configuration drives everything: the same options power the group-creation UI, the voice-channel names, matchmaking filters, and notification targeting.

Configuring a game's options ​

In /setup-lfg-channel, Step 1 lets you choose exactly which option types players can pick from for that game. You decide what's relevant — there's no need to expose filters your community doesn't care about.

Some behaviors worth knowing:

  • "Any" and "Don't ask" — you can offer players an "Any" choice, or skip a filter entirely at group creation.
  • Custom entries — group size and game mode accept custom values when the presets don't fit.
  • Per-player vs. per-group filters — some attributes (like rank) belong to each player, while others (like region) describe the whole group. The bot handles both.
  • Ranked ranges — rank-style filters match within a tolerance, so players with near-equal ranks still get paired.

Multiple games in one channel ​

A single LFG text channel can host up to 24 games. Each game keeps its own filters, including platforms and group sizes: editing one game in /setup-lfg-channel changes only that game. The channel's own settings (the LFG guide, post removal, and turning messages into group posts) are shared by every game in the channel, and the panel says so on those pages.
