Game Hubs News

Hey Xbox Insiders!

As we are expanding game hubs to even more people this week, we'll be making some adjustments, and a different random subset of users will see them. You may see them for the first time, not at all, or a slightly different experience to what you've seen before, and we still want your feedback!

Please use Report a Problem to submit your feedback if you have any issues, run into anything unexpected, want to share your thoughts on something that could be changed or updated, or even if you want to let us know how cool they are. We're still refining game hubs, and we love hearing what you think! To learn more about giving feedback, visit: Provide feedback to Team Xbox.

If you missed the release notes before, here's a quick copy/paste for convenience:

Game Hubs

With today's update, a random subset of users will see something new we're trying called game hubs, and we're excited for you to check it out and hear your feedback.

Game hubs will appear whenever you select a game from your recently played games lists or your installed games list, and they include a bunch of information that we hope you'll find as useful as we do. You'll see information relevant to the game you've selected, such as your player stats, achievements, friends who are playing, recent captures, available add-ons, events, and more! And, if you're in a hurry to start playing, the default focus in game hubs for installed games will always be on the Play button to enable a seamless double-tap to play experience from the game tile.

While we're refining game hubs, you may see a slightly different experience to what someone else sees, and we want to hear your feedback. What do you like? What do you not like? Is there anything you would like to see added to game hubs? Let us know by filing feedback with Report a Problem! Please don't let the word problem fool you, we take compliments and suggestions too!

Note If you see game hubs when launching games from your recently played games lists, you can launch games immediately with the X button or by pressing the Menu button then choosing Play or Resume. We've also added a new setting to control this so that you can launch games immediately instead of showing game hubs. If you have enabled the setting to launch games immediately, or if game hubs are not present when launching games from your recently played lists, you can launch the game card the same way. Just press the X button or press the Menu button then choose Game card. You can find the setting to launch games immediately in personalization settings or from My games & apps > Manage > Games & apps. If you choose to use this setting, we'd love to hear your feedback via Report a Problem!

Thanks again for all your feedback! We look forward to hearing even more here and via Report a Problem.
