The brand new r/Xbox

Greetings all,

We'd first like to increase a really honest thank-you to every of you who go to and take part with us. Immediately we’re saying some essential modifications to the general construction of those communities.

Xbox and Reddit have undergone important modifications over time. Fifteen years in the past, the one option to entry Reddit was by way of a desktop pc and the "outdated" reddit interface (lengthy might it reign). Immediately, the overwhelming majority of you discover your method right here through cell or app. Communities that numbered within the a whole lot and hundreds, now have tens of millions of customers. What was as soon as a distinct segment nook of the web is now certainly one of its main social platforms.

Xbox itself has undergone many transformations in that point as properly, not solely by way of {hardware}, but additionally by way of its imaginative and prescient and scope. It has expanded past the console market to embrace new options comparable to play anyplace, cross save, cloud play, Recreation Go, and with the acquisition of a number of main studios. These improvements have enabled many people to benefit from the Xbox platform in ways in which transcend the normal console expertise.

Along with these modifications, we've heard repeatedly about frustrations with how the Xbox communities on Reddit are structured. By way of mod mail, remark, and even from Xbox workforce members immediately. Most of the present mod workforce had been customers lengthy earlier than becoming a member of on, and we shared these frustrations.The present panorama of Xbox communities on Reddit may realistically be described as scattered and redundant. Basically, a number of subreddits are serving up the identical content material and it not is smart to divide the userbase and content material on this method. In a current group survey shared in all main Xbox themed subreddits – we noticed overwhelming and close to unanimous help for some type of consolidation. The preferred (and seemingly logical) proposal, being to merge the foremost console hubs into r/Xbox

What you stated:

"It's previous the time all of those communities merge into one.

" It's pointless to maintain them separate. Have flairs to filter which platform/technology is being mentioned, if wanted."

"Ideally, we’d all migrate tor/xbox as the longer term proofed everlasting sub. Sadly, the content material on XboxSeriesX is way more participating at the moment."

"Perhaps extra cross pollination of some kind? A minimum of between “Xbox” and the present gen’s subreddit."

"It’s a bit fragmented in the mean time "

"Ideally I feel they need to all be mixed and r/Xbox ought to be the primary hub. Particularly contemplating Xbox is changing into a platform that spans a number of console generations, PC, cloud, and cell fairly than simply console. "

"Unification across the r/Xbox sub, utilizing the r/XboxSeriesX guidelines & options (like consumer/publish flairs), with mods from all three subs packed collectively. If solely extra net moderators had a shred of humility. "

"A mixed place, an excessive amount of fracturing" ought to change into the primary group. New generations of consoles will additional segregate the group and there must be a assured central hub ""Ideally, r/Xbox ought to most likely be the hub "

"There appears to be plenty of redundancy between the three, with duplicate posts/topics in every subreddit, unnecessarily dividing consideration and dialogue. I imagine it'd be higher to centralize most Xbox information and dialogue inside , making that the final subreddit."

Primarily based on that suggestions – we invite you to affix us in a brand new route for Xbox themed communities on Reddit.
