Snapchat Just Released a Way for Developers to Add Users’ 3D Bitmoji to Their Games

The new software-development kit works across all platforms

Snapchat began its push into gaming with its rollout earlier this month of real-time multiplayer platform Snap Games, and Snapchatters’ 3D Bitmoji avatars will soon be able to join in the fun.

The messaging application Thursday released Bitmoji for Games, a new software-development kit that will enable developers and publishers to incorporate Bitmoji into their titles.

The SDK will enable Snapchatters to play as their Bitmoji in games on mobile, PC, consoles and other platforms, making their avatars “personal and portable.”

Once the SDK is incorporated into a game, at the point where players choose an avatar or character, they will be able to scan a Snapcode and link their Snapchat account so that they can play as their own Bitmoji.
