Xfire, Inc. today announced that its free service, Xfire, is now on over 500,000 gamers' PC's around the world. Xfire automatically tracks when and where gamers' friends are playing PC games online. Xfire has also attracted broad support among game publishers, hardware manufacturers, and big brand companies interested in the gamer market. Publishers and developers are bundling Xfire with the hottest games, such as Ubisoft's Far Cry and America's Army. Leading hardware vendors including NVIDIA, AMD, Alienware, and PNY will be distributing special skinned versions of Xfire. "PNY is a strong supporter of PC gaming and is proud to be able to work with Xfire and offer an application to PC gamers that makes it a cinch for them to find their online gaming buddies," said Craig Wiener, Sr. Marketing Manager for PNY's Verto Graphic cards.
Other dynamic brands such as Mountain Dew and Spike TV will be creating special skinned versions of Xfire and promoting it with online contests. For example, Xfire is partnering with Spike TV, the first network for men, to launch the "Build the Biggest Xfire Network" contest. One winner who builds the biggest Spike TV/Xfire network will receive an Alienware Area 51M Enthusiast Portable Gaming Platform.
You can download Xfire for free on www.xfire.com.
Xfire will be exhibiting in America's Army's booth #1080 in the South Hall at E3. If you want to find out more you’ll have to sneak into some random game programmer’s hotel room and grab his ID, and hope he concludes he lost it.
So far these are the games that are currently supported!
