Discover
The player side of ESB Games is designed around finding games, experiences, creators, events and other relevant activity. Discovery systems are part of the wider platform and may evolve while the product is tested.
Belong
Friends, groups, communities, messaging and events are intended to help people build lasting spaces around the things they enjoy. Social features are expected to use privacy, reporting and safety controls appropriate to the feature and audience.
Build
Creators use ESB Studio and connected creator tools to build experiences and content for the ecosystem. Creator publishing, Marketplace activity and monetisation have separate readiness, review and policy requirements.
One account, multiple surfaces
ESB Games is being designed as a connected ecosystem rather than a collection of unrelated websites. Player, creator, family, support and trust surfaces should use the appropriate account and permissions model for the task they perform.
