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 in a multiplayer game. It’s your world. Everyone else is just playing in it.
Beat them at your own game.
Game Center lets you expand your social gaming network. Exponentially. All anyone needs to play is an iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad.* Just tap the Game Center icon on your Home screen and sign in with your Apple ID. 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 Game Center, making it easy for more friends to find you. Get recommendations and download any games you see by tapping links in Game Center. And you’re good to go. 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 in Game Center. Tap friends’ names, and you can see which games they’ve been playing. You can also check out pending friend requests.
Leader of the pack. Or not.
Who’s top dog? The leaderboards will tell you. 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. Let the smack talk begin.
Meet your match.
Feeling like a little multiplayer mayhem? Game Center can help with that. 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.
