Support NeoGAF

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Xbox Social Clubs will be permanently removed from Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles in April 2026, as part of ongoing platform updates to focus on more widely used social features.

• Community-created clubs will be shut down entirely, including the removal of the Clubs tab from the Friends and Community Updates app.
• Official Clubs linked to specific games (e.g., via a game's Game Card) will remain available for developers and publishers to engage with their communities.
• Xbox is directing users toward alternatives such as Discord integration, party chat, Xbox messaging, and the Looking for Group feature to stay connected and coordinate gaming sessions.
• The feature has been gradually phased out, with no new clubs able to be created as of early 2026.
• Existing club content may not be accessible after the shutdown—users are encouraged to save any important posts, screenshots, or media now.

Whatever it was....

A bit like Miiverse channels for individual games and communities , there was a GAF one at some point and I mainly used the screenshot ones.

It was a nice addition to the feature set, its usage has probably dropped off substantially.

Today they'll be saying they never heard of socials, tomorrow they'll be saying they've never heard of Xbox.

Because the management sucks . The media won't call them out because they get their arse hairs tickled by them.

They are the kind of people who take a shit in urinals.
