About Us
Gamingcfg started as a community project in late 2009 but officially launched in July 2010. The idea behind it was to create a community-driven service where people could store their gaming configs and share them with other gamers.
Originally the project was mainly focused on Counter-Strike (1.6 and Source), Team Fortress 2, Day of Defeat Source and Call of Duty (2 and 4) but quickly grew into a wide variety of shooters.
Late summer 2010 the website started to gain some more traction within the community. The first configs started to reach the milestone of 1.000 downloads and the number of available configs rapidly increased from a few hundreds to over 1.000 in August and even 2.000 in September.
While Gamingcfg these days mainly focuses on individual configs, it also used to contain a lot of server configs (specific competitive settings), clan packs (containing the configs of entire clan) and even full tournament packs (WCG 2010).
The website ended 2010 with a total of 150.000 downloaded configs across the 3.000 configs that were available at the time.
Gamingcfg continued its growth in 2011 by ending the year with multiple milestones (over 6.000 configs, first config reaching 100.000 downloads and over 1 million downloads in total).
In 2012 the website expanded further into uncharted waters by switching to a new design and adding other downloads beyond configs like GUIs, HUDs, sprays, models, maps and addons.
That same growth continued in 2013 by the introduction of new categories like demos, replays, save games, wallpapers and screenshots. That year the website reached its milestone of over 20.000 downloadable files and a total of over 3.5 million downloads.
In the following years, the website continued to grow within the already established categories and introduced another web design in 2015 to improve visibility and user experience.
In 2017 Gamingcfg started another era by introducing gamer settings on the website. These settings pages helped bridge the gap that had started to exist with games that no longer (or less frequently) relied on config files.
With eSports growing the interests of our visitors also slowly began to change. Visitors were no longer only looking for configs but also wanted to know more about PRO players. With the earlier introduction of settings pages, we began adding more content (like social media links, gaming gear and PC specs) to those pages to create a full experience for the visitors.
The trend continued which made Gamingcfg fully switch (back) to config files and settings for PRO and casual gamers. In 2022 the website received another redesign, which coincided with the phasing out most of the downloadable files (beside configs) and multiple older games that the community was no longer interested in.
Before phasing out some of the downloads the website had over 30.000 downloadable files in 49 different games which had reached over 10.000.000 downloads over the years.
Since the switch in 2022 the focus of the team has been about providing accurate, up-to-date and complete settings of gamers with the help of the community. While most of the visitors these days are coming for settings of PRO players we like to stick to our core values and will continue to provide a service for gamers regardless of skill level. All gamers, now and in the future, will always have the opportunity to share their config files and settings.
