Abstract: A system and method for generating an integrated interface is provided. A user dataset of a user, a peer dataset of a peer user, and interactive titles available to the user are stored in memory. A network interface establishes a session with a user device associated with the first user. A processor executes instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by the processor constructs a group of interactive activities based on the sets of one or more activities of each interactive title, a user presence based on the first user dataset, and a peer presence based on the peer dataset and displays the set of interactive activities, the user presence, and the peer presence on an integrated interface displayed on the first user device.
