Let friends go on missions together, display a friends-only leaderboard in your custom UI, and even show friends’ progress within progression maps. You can leverage the Friends API to create frictionless social and multiplayer experiences. Players can start multiplayer games together, see where friends rank on a leaderboard, keep up with what their Game Center friends are playing on the App Store and in Game Center widgets - and much more. Game Center connects players inside and outside of your game. After showing any highlights, the access point collapses to display the player’s avatar. When the access point initially appears, you have the option of showing highlights - such as the number of achievements or default leaderboard ranking - to give players quick insight into their progress. You can deep link players to specific areas of the dashboard or provide easy access to the whole dashboard with an access point. The Game Center dashboard is a central place where players access their profile and interact with Game Center features that your game supports, such as achievements, leaderboards, and challenges. The friend request inbox lets them easily manage requests in one place. Players can invite Game Center friends, contacts, iMessage groups, and nearby players, or automatch with other competitors to quickly start playing on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. Game Center supports real-time and turn-based multiplayer functionality, helping players connect without leaving your game. Opt in to display challenges on the dashboard using App Store Connect. By default, challenges are not displayed on the dashboard. ChallengesĬhallenges let players compete directly with friends to beat a high score or accomplish a specific achievement. For variety, consider creating a set of achievements that require dedication and a range of skills to complete. Keep these limits in mind when releasing the initial version of your game, as you may want to add new achievements in future updates. You can provide up to 100 achievements, each of which can award up to 100 points, and your game can award up to 1,000 points in total. Consider using hidden achievements to prevent spoilers in your game and to surprise and delight players. You can also create hidden achievements, which only appear once completed. Players see achievements as locked, in progress, or completed. You decide which achievements are relevant to your game and worth offering to your players. AchievementsĪchievements are special milestones that indicate when a player has successfully reached a particular goal in your game. You can use one or both leaderboard types in your game.
Use recurring leaderboards for timed live events - for example, to show the most matches won in a week. Recurring leaderboards are short lived and expire, then repeat after a set time, such as daily, monthly, or weekly. Use these to showcase scoring for overall or lifetime events, such as all-time number of matches won or the shortest time taken to complete a level. Classic leaderboards are ongoing and maintain a player’s score forever.
You can even create a friends-only leaderboard in your custom UI. Players see how they rank among global players, as well as their Game Center friends. Leaderboards let players participate in new competitions within your game and challenge other players to beat their score.
