Xbox Tests Game Hubs with Extra Launch Step

Microsoft is testing a new feature called Game Hubs for Xbox, which provides detailed game information before launching a title, requiring an extra button press to start the game. This feature is currently available to select Xbox Insiders and offers insights such as achievements, playtime, friends playing, and recent captures. While some users criticize the additional step as unnecessary, others appreciate the extra information provided. The feature can be disabled for quicker access via the home screen but remains in other dashboard areas. Feedback from users is encouraged, as the feature is still in testing and not yet widely released. The ultimate goal is to balance user experience with the added value of game-related data.
