Pyroblast is a browser-based service for bringing gaming activity from Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox into one profile. It detects and logs sessions without manual input, recording the game, start time, and duration. Connected libraries, playtime, achievements, and rankings appear together, with trophies and achievements collected in an achievement vault. Its Global Arena has boards for achievements, mastery of game difficulty, and lifetime play hours. Players can also review timelines, streaks, habits, play patterns, and a year-in-review recap. The service may generate AI-powered gameplay summaries, recommendations, and profile descriptions. Profiles can be public or private, and only public ones appear in the Arena. Pyroblast says it uses authorised platform APIs and permissions users grant, does not circumvent platform privacy settings, and does not sell or share data with third parties. It is free to start at free, with connections for Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox. The terms require users to be at least 16 years old; the current homepage describes browser access, while desktop and mobile applications are described as future offerings.
