GameFly has been working it’s way into the mobile scene for a little under a year now having released an app not too long ago which was more of an informative app where you can find news and information about games across plenty of platforms along with reviews, screenshots, videos and more.
Today GameFly has launched an entire cross-platform social network for gamers in which gamers across Android and iOS can talk to each other, whether it’s smack talk or just saying hello. This new network, which is now apart of the GameFly app, comes packed with plenty of features.
Features:
- Create a profile page and browse others’ profiles
- Find new people to play with on Xbox LIVE, PSN & Wii
- Post updates and share info with followers
- Follow friends and other gamers, and discover what they’re playing
- View recent activity around any game
- Comment on others’ posts and see comments on your posts
- Get notifications when people comment on your posts
- Connect Facebook and Twitter accounts seamlessly with the GameFly App
- GameFly members have the option to share the games they add to their GameQ or decide to keep

This all combines to make the perfect platform for challenging your friends who happen to own iOS devices to games which are cross-platform compatible or perhaps your friends who own Android devices as well. The update is available on the Android Market right now for free but it will also be available soon on the Amazon App Store for Android as well as the Nook Store. You can also download it directly from the GameFly’s website.
Full press release below for your reading pleasure. We have been playing around with this new update since yesterday before it went public so expect a nice little review coming soon.
