Features
Shop and news section
This new platform will also look to provide various blogs featuring game guides, and tutorials. There’s also a shop section to purchase in-game items through the points you earn on the platform. Points can be earned by winning tournaments and engaging actively on the platform.
Tournaments
There’s a user-friendly tournaments manager, allowing players to easily create and manage their esports tournaments. Googly also has dedicated leaderboards, an esports bracket manager and chat forums.
From what we’ve seen from our experience of the platform, it’s not just for hardcore gamers and esports players. The platform looks to serve gamers of all kinds, and has something to offer for casual gamers through their chat forum and cloud gaming feature.
Cloud gaming and app
The GoPlay section on the platform has over 100 casual and hyper-casual games that can be played instantly through cloud.
To make it a seamless experience for users of the platform, there’s also an app available on the Google Play Store for Android. Googly has said that the iOS version of the app will be launched at a later date.
