Assharedby the Xbox team on Wednesday, Game Hubs will appear whenever a player selects a game.

This means that instead of a game directly launching, a user will go through the hub first.

Xbox Series X

Game Hubs gather information about a game all in one place.

Game Hubs are available now for members of the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring of the Xbox Insider Program.

Instantly knowing that a new DLC is available (or is coming up soon) would be particurlarly nice.

Even so, I don’t love the concept of hopping into a game being slowed down significantly.

I’m curious, would anyone reading this that regularly plays Xbox games enjoy using Game Hubs or not?
