Home

A "Recently Played" sidebar and horizontal search history eliminate the need to dig through menus, keeping the most relevant content front and center. The layout is optimized to load assets quickly, ensuring a smooth transition from the desktop to the dashboard.

Users can launch titles instantly via a "Play Now" hover state or double-click functionality, bypassing unnecessary sub-menus. The grid layout is optimized for rapid scanning, with smart-loading assets and persistent status indicators that provide essential metadata without taxing system resources.

A simplified chat window uses high-contrast bubbles for better readability, while the sidebar keeps recent threads organized by time. The layout is stripped of unnecessary elements to ensure that sending messages and inviting friends to a lobby is fast and responsive.
