✍️ Writer Ranks Are Here (and an Article Rewards Update)
October 27, 2026
Writing in the Gaming Hub now has a ladder to climb.
Six writer ranks
Every approved article moves you up:
| Rank | What it takes |
|---|---|
| Contributor | 1 approved article |
| Writer | 5 approved articles |
| Senior Writer | 15 approved articles |
| Elite Author | 35 approved articles |
| Legend | 75 approved articles |
Your rank badge shows next to your name on your public profile, and Creator Studio shows your progress to the next rank.
An update on article rewards
Ranks are about recognition. To keep the reward store sustainable, the points paid for articles are now small: a few points for approval and likes, plus a bonus if an article is featured or picked by the editors.
Offers are where the points are. Each completed offer pays far more than an article does, and it's the fastest route to a Steam, PlayStation or Xbox gift card. Browse offers to see what's available in your country.
Points you've already earned from articles are yours to keep. Nothing has been taken back.
