Google Play Games will allow you to add players close to the game
Little by little Google is in charge of improving its different mobile services. And among them we could not miss the games Thus Google Play Games continues adding possibilities to satisfy the needs of the most gamers who are no longer satisfied with finding new titles to sink their teeth into. A new feature has just been released allowing players to find other participants to add to their match if they are physically close to them.
This is the Players Near You feature. A feature that takes advantage of the advances that Google has been making to be able to contact and connect with other users when they are in the same place. Thus, taking advantage of the technical features of terminals such as WiFi Direct, the connection Bluetooth or even On microphone, it is possible to bump into other players to invite them to play a multiplayer game in the same game
Thus, users who have already received the latest version of Google Play Games, in addition to Google Play Services which activates many of the features of this company's services, have come across this feature.Just create a new multiplayer game in the title you are enjoying. At that time, and to add players that you want, the Players near you section now appears A corner where the profile picture and name of other users is displayed that are physically in the same place as the user to add them to the game, despite not having any other type of relationship
Of course, for this you have to take a couple of issues into account. First of all this feature only seems to work if those other nearby players are looking for a game to join And that's a good way to protect theprivacy of those users who do not want to share their profiles or simply do not want to let others know what they are playing. Secondly, only games ready for multiplayer over WiFi or Bluetooth seem to work with this system.
In this way, Google activates the visibility of the user who is looking for new players to compete against, although without showing all his information of profile. To find people nearby, it makes use of the WiFi connection, Bluetooth, GPS and, most surprising of all: the microphone And it is that with this technology it allows the terminals of the players to recognize themselves through ultrasounds, thus capturing if there are other players nearby to look for mates without any type of sound audible to humans being emitted. All this without limiting the rest of the options multiplayer with contacts from Google+ who want to join the match.
In short, a feature that most players will like and that will make the games of the moment more participatory when everyone is playing in the same place.This novelty has been released in a staggered, requiring the latest versions of Google Play Games and from Google Play Services, so it will still take a few days to reach Spain Of course, it will do it automatically and totally free
