Site feature: Follow related topics from within news stories - TrueAchievements

We publish a lot of news stories (over 3,000 in 2021), and making sure you don't miss articles that are important to you can be difficult. That changes today.

We already had ways to subscribe to news categories and games, but they weren't very consistent and were quite difficult to find.

Introducing the Follow Topics button

Now, when you go to a news story, we'll show a list of topics related to the news story in the Follow Topics button.

If the story is about a single game, we'll show various topics related to the game:

• The game itself
• The series the game is from
• The publisher of the game
• The developer of the game
• The first genre from the game
• The author of the story
• Any other key information we think you might want to follow (Game Pass, Multiplayer, etc.)

There's some reasonably complicated logic going on behind the scenes to make this list, and we'll be working on improving this logic to handle multiple games in a story in the coming weeks.

If you want to subscribe to a topic, just click on it. If you are already subscribed to that topic, the bell next to the topic will be filled, and you can also un-follow the topic by clicking again.

When a news story is next published that matches one of your followed topics, you'll get a notification with a blue dot in your gamer menu:

Click the notification to view the story. You can also unfollow or follow more topics directly from within the notification by clicking the three dots.
