Home
The home screen acts as a central hub where users can instantly jump back into their most recent games or catch up on the latest industry updates. 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.

Game Library
The library is a high-performance visual database that handles large collections with zero lag. 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.

Messaging
The messaging interface is built for quick coordination, allowing users to manage multiple conversations and check friend statuses at a glance. 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.

Store (Game Select)
The store page provides a dedicated space for users to evaluate titles through high-resolution gameplay galleries and video trailers. A persistent sidebar on the right houses the edition selector, pricing, and a clear "Add to Cart" button, ensuring the checkout path is always accessible while the user browses media. To help with decision-making, the layout includes a one-tap wishlist heart and quick-access thumbnails, allowing users to dive into game details or save them for later with minimal clicks.

News Feed
The news section aggregates articles from various gaming outlets into a clean, easy-to-read magazine format. Users can browse a vertical feed of headlines on the left and read full stories with embedded media in the main viewing pane. Simple icons on the right allow for quick filtering by source, making it easy to stay informed without leaving the platform.
