What are Widgets?
The Profile Board is a surface on the user profile that allows users to express different aspects of their personalities. Widgets are customizable sections on your Profile Board that allow you to showcase your interests to other users, enabling you to express your identity in different ways.
There are currently five types of Widgets you can add to the Board:
- Favorite Game: Highlight your ultimate favorite game with an optional short description about why you love it.
- Currently Playing: Share up to 5 games you're currently playing, with optional tags to give more information about how you play.
- Want to Play: Display up to 20 games on your wishlist that you're interested in trying in the future.
- Games I've Played: Showcase up to 20 games from your gaming history.
- Game Stats: Showcase your stats, achievements, and progress from supported games. Currently available for select games.
Each Widget type allows you to select games from our database and personalize how they appear on your profile. If you can’t find a specific game, don’t worry– we’re actively expanding our games database!
