Xbox Live Arcade Getting Another Facelift
Sometimes perusing the plethora of games in XBLA is messy. If you want to see everything you must search alphabetically, and even they you’re just reading game titles. What if I told you Microsoft is going to make it easier for you to find games your friends like, games that match what you like, and deals on games you might like?
Enter Destination Arcade, Xbox’s new, more convenient way to peruse downloadable games. This new, free app has a superior filtering system which can sort games by developer, price, user rating, etc. Xbox Live users can also rate games with their stamp of approval, allowing their buddies to know what’s great. What's even better is that it's coming next week.
Creating a navigable experience for the Xbox Live Marketplace has been an uphill climb for Microsoft. First came the Xbox Blades, then the New Xbox Experience, and now Destination Arcade. Will the third time be the charm?

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
