WWDC 16: Apple Details Game Center Changes in iOS 10, Introduces Sessions

Apple introduced its Sessions API, which will add support for iCloud-based multiplayer to Game Center.

During WWDC 16 last week, Apple unveiled a number of changes coming to Game Center in iOS 10. Game Center is Apple’s social gaming platform, which allows developers to add achievements, leader boards and multiplayer functionality to iOS games.

With this update, Game Center will support Messages-based invites for multiplayer matches. That is, rather than being limited to only inviting their Game Center friends to matches, users will be able to send rich link messages through the Messages app to invite other users to play games.
