Microsoft is bringing game developer updates directly into the Xbox Guide with this latest update.
We recently reported on some of Microsoft's plans to replace Game Hubs with a new "Official Clubs" feature for Xbox One, and it seems some aspects of those updates are now available to Xbox Insiders.
I noticed recently on the Alpha ring of the Xbox Insider Program that Official Clubs had begun encroaching on Game Hubs, and has since replaced them altogether.
The idea behind them is basically the same, but it merges the terminology with Microsoft's Xbox Clubs platform, which hasn't really seen a huge amount of traction when pitted against the likes of Reddit, Discord, and indeed, Steam, for gamer community creation. We've detailed some of the ways Microsoft is looking at improving Clubs in the past, but these early moves are an encouraging signal of further investment.
