One of the core parts of Player XP is the categorisation system, to assist you in identifying key insights and tracking changes over time. Player XP has 20 pre-set categories in place across all of its games. These categories aim to group all discussions players have when they talk online about a specific title.
Throughout the dashboard, you will see the categories referenced by name and icon. A list of the 20 categories (and their corresponding icon) can be found below.
