Refresh “Continue Playing” During Big Box Sessions
📋 Summary
Automatically refresh the Discovery Center’s Continue Playing section after a game is launched from Big Box.
❗ Problem
Games played during the current Big Box session do not immediately appear in Continue Playing.
The section only reflects the updated play history after Big Box is restarted. This is particularly inconvenient for users who leave Big Box running continuously.
💡 Proposal
Refresh Continue Playing whenever the user returns to or reopens the Discovery Center after launching a game.
The refreshed section should:
Add newly played games
Move replayed games into the correct position
Preserve the existing sorting and filtering
Update regardless of where the game was launched within Big Box
Avoid duplicate entries
🧩 Use Cases
Returning to the Discovery Center after finishing a game
Quickly resuming a game played earlier in the same Big Box session
Keeping an always-running arcade or living-room setup up to date
📦 Benefits
Keeps Continue Playing accurate throughout the session
Removes the need to restart Big Box
Makes recently played games immediately accessible
Better matches user expectations for dynamic Discovery Center content
⚠️ Considerations
Refreshing should occur when the Discovery Center becomes active rather than continuously
The update should not unnecessarily rebuild unrelated Big Box views
