Your community already talks about games. GameHub gives those conversations a home that looks like your forum.
Your members talk about games every day, but those conversations end up scattered across a hundred threads that nobody can find again. GameHub gives them a home inside your forum: a game database your members build themselves, where every game page gathers the reviews, ratings, backlogs and discussions about it. Link a game from any post, and that game's page lists every thread that mentions it.
Every game gets a real page, with ratings by category, reviews with pros and cons, and helpful votes
The Insert game button drops a game or a member's gamer card into any post
Upgrading from 1.x: install the archive over your current version from the Admin CP, after a backup. Your data is migrated automatically, votes are copied and screenshots become attachments in a background job. The fourteen decorative style properties of 1.x are replaced by five rating tier colours that follow your style, and if you edited GameHub templates in a child style, revert those edits after the upgrade.

What it does
- A catalogue that fills itself. Members add games, and cover art can be fetched automatically from RAWG. Bulk import from CSV, and a Steam library import for members.
- Opinions with structure. Half star ratings on a published scale, reviews with pros and cons written in the full editor, and helpful votes on the reviews worth reading.
- Mention a game, get a card. The Insert game button in the editor finds a game as you type and drops it into the post, and a member's gamer card goes in the same way.
- A library for every member. Owned, Playing, Completed, Want to play, Dropped, with progress and achievements on the member profile.
- Things to come back for. Rankings all time, by platform and by genre, Game of the Month voting, a Hall of Fame, a release calendar, tier lists, curated lists and play sessions.
- Depth when you want it. Franchises, DLC linking, screenshot galleries, trailers, a side by side comparison, and follows on games, genres and platforms.
- Moderation your staff already know. Soft delete and restore, inline moderation, the approval queue, reports and the deletion log, plus wiki style collaborative editing and duplicate merging.
New in 2.0.0
GameHub 2.0 rebuilds every page with native XenForo components, so the database looks and behaves like the rest of your forum in any style, light or dark, down to small phones. Moderation, votes, screenshots and notifications now run on XenForo's own systems, new games and reviews show up in What's new, structured data gives search engines rich results, and pages are faster. Every 1.x feature is still there.Good to know
