Google on Wednesday introduced a new social-gaming service for Android that mixes its online store and Google+.
Dubbed “Play Games,” the app is a mix of a games store and a social network — showing you what your Google+ friends are playing, and how far they’ve progressed.
The software leverages Google’s Play Games services, which the company introduced at its IO conference earlier this year. That includes multiplayer gaming, leaderboards, and achievements. During a press conference on Wednesday, where Play Games was introduced, Google said “hundreds” of games have added those services, with “millions” of people playing.
