Google wants to develop an Android game social platform to counter Apple Game Center

Computer store news According to foreign media reports, according to an anonymous informed source, Google is developing an app similar to Apple's social network platform Game Center designed for gamers, and will also improve Google Play's payment system. To simplify the application purchase process.

According to sources, Google is preparing to launch a Game Center that is similar to Apple's iOS. Game Center connects players from all games on the iOS App Store app store.

Google is clearly aware of the importance of mobile gaming and is seeking alternatives to third-party services such as OpenFeint. Apple Game Center increases the stickiness of games by providing rewards, making single-player games more social. Similarly, Google’s unpublished app will add social elements to Android games by adding an achievement system that includes trophies and web charts. It is said that the app will include options to compete with friends, but it is not certain whether this will work.

Another project that Google is rumored to be developing is the simplification of Google Play. It is reported that the company is working to modify Google Play's payment system to make its compact performance comparable to the iOS App Store. Google Play lacks Apple's iTunes-based system, which has become the industry standard since its launch in 2008 along with the iPhone 3G. The source did not disclose in detail what changes Google Play is making and the specific implementation time of the change.

Google has not officially announced any information related to the above-mentioned rumors, and has no idea whether it will transform Google Play's payment system.
