Add RetroRatio to RetroAchievements Game Details
š Summary
Add the RetroRatio stat to the RetroAchievements section of the Game Details pane alongside the existing beaten and mastered playtime commitment information.
ā Problem
LaunchBox currently displays useful RetroAchievements stats such as:
Beaten time commitment
Mastered time commitment
However, an important metric is missing:
RetroRatio
For many achievement hunters, RetroRatio is one of the most important factors when deciding what game to play next, as it helps indicate the score value and challenge relative to the time investment required.
Without it, users must leave LaunchBox and check the RetroAchievements website manually.
š” Proposal
Add RetroRatio information to the Game Details pane:
Display RetroRatio alongside:
Beaten hours
Mastered hours
Pull the value directly from RetroAchievements data
Present it in a clean, glanceable format within the existing RetroAchievements details section
š§© Use Cases
A user quickly evaluates whether a game is āworth huntingā before starting
Achievement hunters compare challenge vs reward at a glance
Users choose games based on both time commitment and score efficiency
LaunchBox becomes a more complete RetroAchievements browsing experience
š¦ Benefits
Adds another highly valuable RetroAchievements metric
Reduces need to manually check the RetroAchievements website
Improves game discovery for achievement hunters
Makes the Game Details pane more informative and useful
ā ļø Considerations
Should fit cleanly into the existing RetroAchievements UI
Needs reliable syncing with RetroAchievements metadata
Could potentially be expanded with additional RA stats in the future

Improve Retroachivements stats with retroratio
Hello. Thanks for the retroachivements "playtime commitment" support. I would like to ask if it is possible to put retroratio as a stat alongside the beat and mastered hours. Retroratio is very important information when choosing a new game to hunt achievements, as important as the time to beat.
