Glu Mobile Inc., a leading global developer and publisher of freemium
games for smartphone and tablet devices, today announced the
availability of several of its popular freemium games in the new
Facebook App Center. The App Center offers Glu the opportunity to engage
more than 901 million users through Facebook’s social discovery and
personalized sharing. The Glu games immediately available in the App
Center are Contract Killer, Gun Bros, Big Time Gangsta, Bug Village, and
Stardom: The A-List.
“The App Center is poised to become a powerful additional discovery
channel for Glu games built natively for iOS and Android. Facebook’s
Single Sign-on and mobile APIs will reduce friction to implement social
features in all Glu titles,” said Niccolo de Masi, Glu President and
CEO. “We look forward to benefiting from opportunities for viral
discovery by connecting more deeply with Facebook’s global audience.”
The App Center supports mobile apps that use Facebook – regardless of
whether they run on iOS or Android. Users can discover new apps online
and send them directly to their mobile device from the App Center via a
“send to mobile” button. If a mobile app requires installation, the user
will be prompted to download the app from Apple’s App Store or Google
Play.
The App Center’s Single Sign-on means that users can log into Glu games
with their Facebook credentials and quickly invite their friends to
play. Users can discover new Glu games through an easy to use search
function and bookmark their favorites for easy sharing. Existing payment
functionality in Glu's mobile games stays the same.
The following Glu games are available now in the Facebook App Center:
