Game Center Beta Gets Updated With Felted Game Table Look

By

As an achievement iOS junkie, I’ve been disappointed that it’s taken Apple so long to bring their new Game Center app out of beta. Although there’s many services that offer gaming social networking features like friends lists, matchmaking and achievements, Apple’s entry into the market should consolidate everything into a default, Xbox Live style gaming hub.

Unfortunately, Apple hasn’t quite polished the service off yet, as revealed in a few pictures posted by Mobile Crunch, showing the updated look of the Game Center app. Gone is the dark blue look in favor of an appearance simulating a felted gaming table.

Aesthetically, I prefer the old look, even though the gaming table design is probably a stronger and more internally consistent one. Either way, we still have some time yet to wait before we get out hands on Game Center: it’s not due out until sometime this fall.
