## Definitions

### `games.gamesgamesgamesgames.listGames`

**Type**: `query`

Get a list of games on the network.

#### Parameters

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `did` | `string` (did) | No | Restrict results to games in this DID's repo. Omitting it returns games from every repo — it does NOT default to the authenticated caller. Owner-facing surfaces must pass it explicitly. |
| `sort` | `string` | No | Field to sort by. Constrained because the value reaches an ORDER BY clause, which cannot be parameterised. |
| `limit` | `integer` | No |  |
| `modes` | `array` | No |  |
| `cursor` | `string` | No |  |
| `genres` | `array` | No |  |
| `themes` | `array` | No |  |
| `ageRatings` | `array` | No | Filter by age rating in 'organization:rating' format (e.g. esrb:M, pegi:Eighteen). |
| `sortDirection` | `string` | No | Sort direction. |
| `includeUnrated` | `boolean` | No | When age rating filters are active, also include games with no age ratings. |
| `applicationTypes` | `array` | No | Filter by application type (e.g. game, dlc, bundle). |
| `includeCancelled` | `boolean` | No |  |
| `includeUnpublished` | `boolean` | No | Include the caller's own unpublished drafts. Requires authentication and `did` set to the caller's own DID; the request is rejected otherwise. |
| `playerPerspectives` | `array` | No |  |

#### Output

**Encoding**: `application/json`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `games` | `array` | Yes |  |
| `cursor` | `string` | No |  |
