Game Center lets friends and soon-to-be-friends in on all the action. Invite someone to join, then get a game going. Or choose to go up against people you don’t know, from anywhere around the world. But as long as you’re here, your friends are your rivals. It’s how you play the game.
Gamers rejoice.
Game Center is here.
Game Center on iPhone lets you expand your social gaming network. Exponentially. All anyone needs to play is an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.* Just tap the Game Center icon on your Home screen, sign in with your Apple ID, and you’re good to go. You can create an alias and add a profile pic that will be visible to friends and the gaming community. You can also assign several email addresses to the Game Center app, making it easy for more friends to find you. Get recommendations and download any games you see by tapping links in Game Center. Games can be started right in the Game Center app. And once you sign in to Game Center, you’re always connected. Until you decide to sign out.
Friends. Soon to be opponents.
Bring your friends along for the ride. Or match. Or mission. Once you’re signed in to Game Center, you can invite someone by sending a friend request using a nickname or email address. Or have Game Center suggest some new friends based on the games you play and the opponents you’ve already met. Your friends show up in a separate Friends list. Tap friends’ names, and you can see which games they’ve been playing. You can also check out pending friend requests.
Leaderboards and achievements.
Score some bragging rights.
Check out the leaderboards and see how your score ranks against your friends, as well as all players of each game. You can also compare game achievements with your friends. Look for leaderboards and achievements in the Game Center app and in each game app. And let the smack talk begin.
Meet your match.
Say you want to get a multiplayer game going. Auto-match will find your friends if they happen to be looking for an auto-match, too. Otherwise, it will set you up with a soon-to-be-friend from anywhere around the world. You can also choose to invite friends and have auto-match fill the number of players needed for a game.
