Game UI Database
Compare video game UI screens by task, from HUDs and maps to settings, tutorials, and dialogue.
Overview
Game UI Database is a library of game interface screenshots and videos. Its screen categories include gameplay HUDs, maps, settings, tutorials, dialogue, and other moments in a player’s journey.
Why it is here
The screen categories offer a practical way to start with a design problem rather than a game title. For example, look at several settings menus to compare grouping and labels, then inspect gameplay HUDs to see which information stays visible during play. A visual reference can suggest options, but it cannot tell you whether an interaction worked for players.
Good fit for
Game UI designers planning a specific screen and product designers studying dense controls. Interface In Game is another route through game interfaces, including genre and element browsing; 60fps focuses on motion references from apps.
Try it when
- Pick one task, such as finding a map objective, and compare how several games support it.
- Study both the in-game HUD and the related menu so the change in context is visible.
- Turn observations into your own prototype and test it; screenshots are evidence of appearance, not permission to reuse artwork.
