As usual, ahead of the Google Developer Day at Game Developers Conference (March 18), Google posted and later pulled, a blog post about upcoming improvements to Google Play Games.

 

Google will let players send virtual in-game objects to people in their Google+ circles. Also, the Play Games app will support multiplayer invites and will feature 18 new game categories, which will make it easier for gamers to discover fellow players and new games.

Furthermore, Google will bring turn-based and real-time multiplayer capabilities to both Android and iOS, this means cross-platform multiplayer between users of different operating systems. Currently, this is only possible within select games (such as Minecraft) that support cross-platform multiplayer as a proprietary feature. The company will also facilitate cross-platform game development with a Play Games Unity Plug-in and an early Play Games C++ SDK.
