They’ll also be able to view other games their friends are playing, as well as scores and achievements. Players can view their achievements and leaderboards, as well as a feed of the latest activity from friends, within your game.

The Game Center dashboard is the central place where players can access their profile and interact with Game Center features that your game supports. 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 they’re 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. Players can receive push notifications about leaderboard activity - such as when someone passes their score - so they can stay on top of the latest activity in your game and stay engaged. 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.
