On the heels of Xbox’s summer update, the team and I are thrilled to announce Clubs and Looking for Group (LFG) on Xbox Live will start rolling out to Preview members on Xbox One today and on the Xbox app on Windows 10, iOS, and Android devices soon. As we shared at E3, we have been working hard to deliver new features that bring more choice in how you play games, which includes Clubs, LFG, and Arena on Xbox Live. While you can start enjoying Clubs and LFG today, you can look forward to more news about Arena, our online tournaments platform for gamers of all skill-levels, in the coming weeks.

 

As gamers ourselves, we know how important the playing environment is to enjoying the games you play. We want to give you access to more people to play with as well as choice in how you play. Clubs, LFG, and Arena support our vision for uniting gamers across devices and fostering a welcoming experience on Xbox Live where everyone is included, respected, and supported.

 

Here is a little more about Clubs and LFG – two great new social destinations that will improve your gaming experience – as well as a glimpse into other features starting to roll out today and in the coming weeks.

So like Steam?

Clubs is something users have been asking for since the 360 days, iirc, better late then never.  Anyone going to start a neowin club or something?

Achievement rarity is also confirmed to be another upcoming feature. It's discussed in the latest MN podcast.

 

I've created a public club for the Neowin Gamers Hangout and sent an invite to members I have on my XBL Friend list. It's set to allow members to invite members too, so hopefully it spreads, but I believe anyone can search & join the club manually. The feature is still a little buggy in Preview so PM me or another member in the Club if you have issues joining.

Achievement rarity is something I never really thought about, though with how limited my time has become I don't think about achievements as much as I used to, if I get them fine, if I don't, I'm not going to go out of my way to anymore.
