How to discover NEW games?

I think one thing that should be possible within the DISCOVER menu should be a way to find newly added games. I assume they are all located in the sandbox, but I have to scroll to the end of the sandbox. That's funny as long as it's 200 games overall, but it will become tedious the more games we will have. If that category was sorted the other way round, it might make more sense. Or at least have a "NEW ON OUYA" section or whatever.

Also, inside the PLAY menu, the games should not be displayed as a "two-row" section. Inside the genre sections, like "Retro" etc, we have four rows. That's much better for the PLAY menu I'd say.

    Yes they REALLY need a new games category.

    I noticed yesterday that a "new arrivals" category suddenly showed up in Discover for me.  Glad to see it back, I was getting really tired of seeing the same games over and over. 

    Would love to see the Discover section more dynamic.  Things like long term high rated trending games, this weeks hottest games, newest games, games similar to those you've liked/played a lot.....

    I hope that's something they're going to be updating soon.

    I was really glad to see that show up. It was a shame when it left the Google Play store. As far as I know it still hasn't returned, so I guess that's one for OUYA. ;)

    I agree. The "new games" should be shown in the top instead of the bottom in "Discover". On my OUYA, the picture thumbnails takes a little while to load, especially the last ones in "Sandbox", which is unfortunate since those are the games that need the most eye-catching as possible.

    I also agree with how "Play" is structured. It looks and feels bad to have the games in a 2-row section. It's unpractical and a waste of space.

    You should consider doing like Steam Big Picture:

    I would also love a "sort" option, so I can sort by titles, developer, last played and so on.

    @Wikzo
    Some great points there.

    You guys definitely need to make the "new" category more visible. It's pretty buried. The "play" section with only two rows is also weird, as Wikzo says, though I imagine you're working on that since the "discover" section used to be the same way and you changed that.
