Google is reportedly readying a service to make Android games more social, reports Android Police.

The publication has seen a document outlining Google Play Games which will include multiplayer functionality, chat, leaderboards and achievements. It will also include the ability to save games in the cloud.

The approach could make games within Google Play more viral by prompting users to share their activity with friends.

The service is similar to Apple’s Game Center and will be controlled from the Play Games Settings section on the Google Play menu, with users able to turn on notifications and manage who can share activity with them.

Google Play Games is already being rolled out on devices via a Google Play Service update, according to the report.

Recent stats from App Annie suggest that three-quarters of revenue generated by Google Play come from games. This figure is markedly higher in some markets with South Korea standing at 95 per cent.
