 Mobile multiplayer service provider Exit Games Exit Games announced that Neutron, its cross-platform multiplayer gaming service, has been updated and now allows developers to integrate its online multiplayer and social gaming features into iPhone games.
Those features include game lobbies, various matchmaking capabilities, buddy lists, leaderboards, profiles, in-game voice and text chat, billing and in-game microtransactions, and multiplayer options for real-time, turn-based, and tournament games.
Said Exit Games CEO Christof Wegmann: “The iPhone presents a very unique opportunity for mobile online gaming as it is both specifically designed for online services and comes with the App Store, an already successful and accessible distribution channel."
He continued: "Neutron’s support of this new and innovative mobile device will ensure that iPhone game developers have a means to take advantage of its wireless connectivity and add social gaming features. The iPhone will surely establish itself as a dominant mobile gaming platform and we’re pleased to support multiplayer and social features in games developed for the device."
