You’ll be able to use your Game Center profile to find friends to play with, and now you can see the activity of friends, like when they beat your high scores. Share Play also makes it simple to join and play a game with another friend. That will come to iOS 16 and MacOS later this year.
Hmm. I wonder if Fortnite will take advantage of this? Never mind.
