This page may require cleanup to meet basic quality standards. The specific problem is: A lot of rows can probably be merged into each others, and in general some form of objective way of measuring whether a feature is worth mentioning would be good to have. Finally, possible to handle unique platform-specific features separately?. You can help by modifying
the article. The discussion page may contain useful suggestions.
Launcher/Client features
- Supported features and such of the launcher/client of a platform.
- Note that features not exclusive to the launcher/client (e.g. they are also accessible through a web browser) is better listed in another section.

Store features
- Supported features of the store of a platform.
- This section tries to be launcher/client agnostic, as in Early Access is listed here because the store allows for a game to be released in such a state, regardless of how the game files themselves might be downloaded.
Social features
- Social features; generally simplified as in "all features of a platform that allows two or more users of the platform to interact with one another," with the exception of game-based interactions (multiplayer etc).
Game features
- Features that games of a platform might use. This section is highly tied to the Developer features section.
Video-content features
