Pulse: Earn Boosts, Vote on What We Build Next

Introducing Pulse, a dedicated hub in the Wand sidebar where you can earn Boosts, spend them on the games you want supported, and see exactly where the community is putting its weight. It's a direct way to influence what we build, and it's available to every Wand user starting now.

A New Home in the Sidebar

Boosts used to live in your profile and they were easy to miss if you weren't already looking for them. Now your balance is in the sidebar under Pulse, visible every time you visit the Pulse tab.

Inside Pulse, you'll find three tabs: Top Voted (the games the community is rallying behind), Upcoming (what's in the queue), and Your Votes (a full record of where your Boosts went). Real vote counts are visible to everyone, so you can see your impact in real time.

More Ways to Earn

Here's how you build your balance:

• Complete quests through the new Quests system. There's a pool of up to 100 Boosts to earn through onboarding objectives and ongoing challenges
• Keep a 5-day activity streak going and earn a 25-Boost reward
• New to Wand? You start with 5 Boosts from the moment you sign up so you have something to spend in Pulse from your very first session
• Pro members receive 25 Boosts every month on top of everything available through quests and streaks

Make an Impact

When it's time to vote, you can concentrate your Boosts on the titles that matter most to you. Drop multiple Boosts in a single action to share your voice. A 5-second undo window gives you a moment before the vote commits, and an animation confirms it went through.

Open Wand and look for Pulse in your sidebar. Your balance is waiting, and so is the queue. Make your vote count!
