Users who are part of the Xbox Insider Program have the opportunity to try out Game Hubs, a fresh feature that Xbox is currently piloting before a broader launch.
According to the Xbox team’s announcement on Wednesday, players will encounter Game Hubs each time they choose a game. These hubs contain numerous game-related details, including who among your friends is currently playing, recent screenshots or clips, upcoming events, downloadable content that’s available, and much more.
Instead of a game starting immediately upon opening, users will first access a central hub. By default, selecting a game hub will automatically launch the game, providing a quick and convenient way for players to jump right into their chosen game with just two clicks or taps.
As an observer, I’d suggest: “If you prefer to dive straight into your games without the Game Hub, you can easily adjust that. Just navigate to ‘My Games & Apps’, then select ‘Settings’, followed by ‘Games & apps’.
Starting March 25, 2025 at 3:00 a.m. Pacific Time (or 6:00 a.m. Eastern Time), members of the Xbox Insider Program’s Alpha Skip-Ahead ring can now access Game Hubs. From this date onwards, it will be compulsory for these members.
Reaction: This could be neat, but implementation is key
As a devoted enthusiast, I find this concept for a novel feature captivating, and there are instances where its utility becomes evidently clear. The immediate awareness of a fresh DLC release or an upcoming one would undeniably add a touch of delight to my gaming experience.
Despite this, I’m not particularly fond of the idea that entering a game gets noticeably delayed. If the delay is minimal, say half a second or less, it’s not a major issue. However, if the delay exceeds that, I would probably prefer to deactivate Game Hubs.
Currently, we’re just testing this new aspect, and the team responsible is eagerly seeking opinions about it. It will certainly be intriguing to observe its progression as time unfolds.
Hey there, I’m wondering if those who frequently play Xbox games might appreciate using Game Hubs. Care to share your thoughts? I’d love to hear from you!
