Managing games

Over time your game list can fill up with test games and experiments. You can rename a game, or archive it to hide it from your game list. Archived games can be brought back at any time.

See your games

Run the shipthis game list command:

shipthis game list

david@sal9000:~/game$ shipthis game list
┌──────────┬──────────────┬────────────┐
│    id    │     name     │ createdAt  │
├──────────┼──────────────┼────────────┤
│ 0c179fc4 │ My Real Game │ 01/09/2026 │
├──────────┼──────────────┼────────────┤
│ a1b2c3d4 │ test         │ 20/08/2026 │
└──────────┴──────────────┴────────────┘

The id column shows the short game ID. Use it with the --gameId flag in the commands below.

To sort by the last update, add --orderBy updatedAt. To see more games, use --pageNumber and --pageSize.

Rename a game

Use the --name flag of the shipthis game details command:

shipthis game details --name "Rage Quit Royale"

This changes the name in ShipThis only. The name in the App Store and Google Play does not change.

Archive a game

Run the shipthis game archive command. Without --gameId, it archives the game in the shipthis.json file of the current directory.

shipthis game archive --gameId a1b2c3d4

david@sal9000:~/game$ shipthis game archive --gameId a1b2c3d4
Game "a1b2c3d4" (test) is now archived. It is not shown in your game list.
Please run shipthis game unarchive --gameId a1b2c3d4 to unarchive it.

Archiving does not delete anything. The credentials, builds and jobs of the game stay in ShipThis. Archived games are not shown by shipthis game list or on the games page of the website.

info

You cannot ship an archived game. The shipthis game ship command and the wizards stop with an error. Unarchive the game first.

See archived games

Use the --archived flag to show only archived games, or --all to show all your games:

shipthis game list --archived

david@sal9000:~/game$ shipthis game list --archived
┌──────────┬──────┬────────────┬────────────┐
│    id    │ name │ createdAt  │ archivedAt │
├──────────┼──────┼────────────┼────────────┤
│ a1b2c3d4 │ test │ 20/08/2026 │ 14/10/2026 │
└──────────┴──────┴────────────┴────────────┘

The shipthis game status command also shows if a game is archived.

Unarchive a game

Run the shipthis game unarchive command:

shipthis game unarchive --gameId a1b2c3d4

david@sal9000:~/game$ shipthis game unarchive --gameId a1b2c3d4
Game "a1b2c3d4" (test) is now unarchived. You can ship it again.

The game is shown in your game list again, and you can ship it.

Delete a game

You cannot delete a game yourself at the moment. If you need a game deleted, email us with the game ID.
