Introducing Game Hubs
Earlier this month, we began rolling out Game Hubs to Xbox Insiders on PC and a subset of the Xbox app to PC gamers worldwide. Game Hubs are based on your feedback about depth, progression, and other ways to connect with your games. With Game Hubs you can track your progress over time, discover the latest content and add-ons, connect or compete with your friends, get the latest news from developers, and more. This release of Game Hubs is just the beginning. We have another wave of updates coming soon, including the ability to view your local game records and browse other games from the same publisher. We can’t wait to hear your feedback about what’s available now and what you’d like to see in future updates.
You can access Game Hubs through the Xbox app on PC — Just click on the game in your library or in the left sidebar. Now let’s go through some of the exciting content you’ll find here:
The most necessary. At the top of the page you can see the most important information such as game information and options to play, install or update the game. You’ll also see a quick link back to the details page where you can purchase the game, read reviews, or add it to your wishlist. Finally, you will find information such as the time of your last game, your total playing time, an achievement overview and a friends overview. This area is also used for important notifications, such as: B. to notify you when a game leaves Game Pass so you can take advantage of your discount before it expires.
Recommended content. We want to make sure you don’t miss any news. That’s why the latest available add-ons will be shown to you at the top of Game Hub when they’re released, with pricing information and a link to purchase.
Friends Who plays. No more scrolling through the app. Compare progress, view profiles, see who’s in the game, and even send your friends a party invite – all from the same place.
Successes. Easily track your overall performance and Gamerscore progress, any hero stats you may have collected, and your next unlocks using the Achievements section. To see the full list of achievements you’ve earned and missed, you can click “See All” at any time.
All add-ons. Whether it’s the latest car pack in Forza Motorsport or more ancient coins to fill your Sea of Thieves Season 11 coffers, we’ve got you covered. You can browse available and custom add-ons directly in Game Hub.
HowLongToBeat. We heard how much you enjoyed this feature on the detail pages of participating games, so we made sure to push it to the game hubs too. Whether you want to finish the main story or complete a completion run, HowLongToBeat will help you compare your play time with completion data from the community.
From the developer. Here you will get the latest updates, announcements, tips and tricks from the developers of the game. Find the latest news on your favorite games straight from the teams behind them.
A quest is available in the Xbox Insider Hub until March 9th (click Open or Install) Here) for players registered for the PC Gaming Preview. As a reminder, you can always give us suggestions about the app or leave feedback by clicking your profile card in the Xbox app and then selecting “Feedback” from the drop-down menu. We can’t wait to hear from you as we work to make further improvements to Game Hubs and the Xbox app on PC.
