Raptr has emailed its users stating that it intends to phase out console support on its website. Raptr initially offered Steam, Xbox Live achievements, and PlayStation Network trophy tracking, PC/Xbox 360 gameplay tracking, as well as unified buddy lists and chat. However, the company found that as it grew, there was a larger demand for features that improved the PC gaming experience, whereas on the console side of things it frequently encountered problems with its system as Xbox Live or the PlayStation Network updating would break its system.

Raptr has recommended that for users who still wish to view console-related information from the likes of Xbox Live and PSN, but wish to use a “unified tracking solution“, that users should refer to Playfire.
