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 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 it introduced at IO 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.
The offering joins a handful of competing services from rivals, notably Apple with its Game Center service, and Microsoft and Sony with their Xbox Live and PlayStation Network services (respectively).
Gaming is big on Android, Google said on Wednesday, noting that 19 out of the top 20 game developers are building games on the platform.
Google said the software would be available later on Wednesday for the Play Store.
