What's new

Everything we ship, as we ship it. Frenz updates roll out continuously, so check back often.

July 12, 2026

Link your Steam. Connect Steam in Settings (App & account) and your frenz see what you're playing right on your status, the way Discord shows it. Works while you're on Frenz with your Steam game details set to public.
Link your Spotify. Same idea for music: connect Spotify in Settings and your frenz see the song you're listening to on your status. We only read the current track, nothing else, and going invisible hides it.
Ads arrived, the fair way. Sponsored cards in the feed, a short pre-roll on videos, and ad breaks on live streams. Creators keep half of stream ad revenue and more than half on videos. Premium members see no ads anywhere, and subscribing to a creator removes ads from their whole channel. While the ad program spins up, the slots show Frenz features instead of outside brands.
Streamers: a Run ad button. Pick 30, 60 or 90 seconds right from the broadcast page. Your subs keep watching uninterrupted, and your ad reach now shows in the Studio next to your earnings.
Stream ads work like Twitch. New viewers get a short ad before the stream starts, and one plays when the stream ends. Subscribers skip all of it on that channel, and Premium skips ads everywhere.
The full games directory, Twitch-style. Browse now lists every game with its box art, live channel count, and viewers, not just the ones with someone streaming. Your own games always lead, sorted by who has the biggest audience right now, and zero-viewer games stay visible so you can jump into any category.
Box art in the game picker. Searching for a game now shows its cover next to the name, everywhere you pick a game.
A brand new frenz.gg front page. Visitors now get the full story: what Frenz is, how tagging your squad spreads clips, voice rooms, creator payouts, and our privacy stance, with animated product previews. Log in and create account sit right up top.
New pages for finding us. Guides on GTA 6 at Frenz, GTA 6 communities, and how creators make money here, each with a proper FAQ. You'll find them in the footer.
What's new moved to the top bar, next to messages and notifications, so your left menu stays lean.
A full copy cleanup. We rewrote clunky text in over 30 screens so everything reads the way it should.
A Live tab on every profile. Streamers get a real channel home: your weekly streaming schedule (set it in Settings, Channel), your panels, and past broadcasts as a subscriber perk. While you're live, your profile banner becomes the stream (one tap opens it) and visitors land on the Live tab first.
Streaming schedule. Tell your viewers when you go live, day by day, right from Settings, Channel.
Panels support formatting. Bold, italics, and bullet points in panel text, so rules and specs read like a proper page.
Stone theme. A new light theme in Appearance that sits between Silver and the dark themes: less glare, still light. The Frenz logo now follows your theme too, so it stays visible on every background.
Tiered achievements. Chained achievements (like First Blood, Content Machine, Prolific) now share one icon and level up bronze, silver, gold, so your medal case shows the build-up at a glance.
Notification settings, organized. Toggles are grouped into Social, Your content, Live & voice, and Achievements, so the one you want is easy to find.
Patch notes! This page. Everything we ship now lands here, at frenz.gg/updates, linked from the sidebar under "What's new".
Frenz on your phone got a full overhaul. Community pages now have a slide-in channel list and a members panel that actually opens on mobile, menus and pickers fit the screen, profile tabs scroll instead of cutting off, the photo editor always shows its buttons, and every control is big enough to tap. If something felt impossible to press before, try it again.
Videos start sharp everywhere. The last cause of the blurry first seconds is gone, on every browser and every device.
Community subscriptions are here. Community owners can create up to three paid tiers (from €2.99/month) once their community reaches 500 members, with a progress bar showing how close you are. Lock single channels or the whole community behind a tier, and give subscribers name flair in chat.
Custom community emojis. Communities can upload their own :emoji: set and lock favorites behind subscription tiers.
2FA by email. Prefer not to use an authenticator app? You can now get your two-factor sign-in codes by email.
Post from the feed. A share box now sits at the top of your feed for quick text and photo posts, and broken clip tiles no longer show up.

July 11, 2026

Sharper starts for clips and streams. A string of playback fixes: full-resolution thumbnails and posters, smarter starting quality, and better behavior in Safari. No more grainy first seconds.
Emails that look right everywhere. Frenz emails now render correctly in every inbox, including Outlook dark mode.

July 10, 2026
