Xanathar's Guide to Everything adds new archetypes for the ranger, not new conclaves (page 41): At 3rd level, a ranger gains the Ranger Archetype feature. The following options are available to a ranger, in addition to those offered in the Player’s Handbook: the Gloom Stalker, the Horizon Walker, and the Monster Slayer.
Ranger. The Ranger will take Two-Weapon Fighting style, Hunter subclass (Colossus Slayer) and Hunter’s Mark. On a normal turn, the Ranger can deal 14 damage per round on average. With Hunter’s Mark active, that amount goes up to 22 damage per round on average. If the target is below its maximum hit points, the DPR goes up by 5, to 27.
Ranger I'm not high on the ranger for anything but flavor, unless challenging terrain is a significant feature of the campaign . Adventures such as Tomb of Annihilation and Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden have challenging terrain built into the adventure, so a ranger dip may make sense if playing in a campaign that features challenging ...
Xanathar's ranger subclasses are the only subclasses in the game that give free spells to a learned-spell caster (besides Divine Soul Sorcerer's Affinity spell). As rangers can replace a spell that they know when they level up, can they use this to replace the free spell they are given, essentially turning it into an extra known-spell from the ...
\$\begingroup\$ There's also a non-UA version of the ranger from D&D designer Mike Mearls: Revised Ranger 2018. It's sort of half way in between the last two UA versions linked in this answer, as it's a patch to the official PHB version, like the feature variants UA, but it makes some major parts of the class (like spellcasting) optional, in ...
Remove Extra Attack from the base ranger, and moves it instead to the subclasses (except Beast Conclave, which gets its own similar feature). Subclasses (now called Ranger Conclaves) Beast Conclave. Changed the beast companion list. Beast gets own turn. Beast can attack on its own turn w/o giving up ranger's action.

A couple of notes: This subclass has 2 features that involve being attacked, so I will assume this class is intended to be for a melee ranger as opposed to a ranged ranger, in order to take advantage of these abilities. It is perfectly fine for a subclass to specialize with one weapon type over another, and I will be reviewing based on that.
So, a level 6 character who was a Ranger 4/Wizard 2 who took the Alert feat at level 4 would have an initiative bonus of 5 + DEX + WIS + INT. So, if my Ranger 4/Wizard 2 example above made it all the way up to level 20 (Ranger 18/Wizard 2) and used all their ASIs to max out DEX, INT and WIS, they would then have an initiative bonus of 20.
It would be more interesting if it gave favored enemies Disadvantage on attacks against the Ranger. Favored Enemy Bonus is +1 damage against some foes and an additional Favored Enemy. That's not great, and at level 11 that's just terrible.
