How to verify game platform availability with your AI

Connect the RAWG Video Games Database to your agent to pull real-time hardware support data for any title.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can my AI tell me which consoles a game supports?

Yes. Your AI uses the RAWG database to find a specific game and then looks up its technical details to list every supported platform. You'll get a clear list of consoles like PlayStation, Xbox, or Switch immediately.

Where every query lands.

The outcomes of your search

Depending on how you ask, your AI provides different levels of hardware information.

MATCH

Confirmed compatibility

The AI identifies the exact consoles a game runs on. You get a direct list of hardware names.

MISS

Platform unavailability

If a game isn't on your system, the AI confirms it isn't listed in the database. This prevents guesswork.

DATA

Detailed game specs

Beyond just consoles, the AI can pull release dates and other metadata. This gives you the full context for your purchase.

HUMAN

Manual verification needed

If a game is extremely new or obscure, the AI might not find it. You'll need to check a retail site if the database returns nothing.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask about a game.

The agent follows a two-step process to move from a title name to a list of supported hardware.

  1. Locate the game

    The agent searches the RAWG database to find the correct entry for the title you mentioned.

    search_video_games

  2. Fetch hardware data

    Once the game is found, the agent pulls the specific technical details for that entry.

    get_video_game_details

  3. Filter platforms

    The agent parses the platform list to answer your specific question about console support.

    get_video_game_details

  4. Report findings

    The agent presents the list of consoles or confirms if the game is unavailable on your system.

    get_video_game_details

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI tell me if a game is currently on sale?

    No. The tools only provide game details and platform availability, not real-time pricing or store sales.

  • 02

    What happens if the AI can't find the game?

    If the search returns no results, the AI will tell you it couldn't find that title in the RAWG database.

  • 03

    Can the AI buy the game for me?

    No. The AI can only read data from the database. It cannot perform transactions or access your accounts.

  • 04

    Does the AI know about indie games released today?

    The AI is limited to what is in the RAWG database. If a game was released very recently and hasn't been indexed, the AI won't know about it.

  • 05

    Can the AI change the game's information?

    No. The tools are read-only. The AI can only retrieve information, not edit or delete database entries.
