On iPad, Game Center is Apple’s social gaming service that lets you connect with friends, track and compare scores and achievements, compete with other players in challenges, and invite friends to multiplayer games.
In the Apple Games app, you can personalize your Game Center profile with an avatar and a nickname your friends will see, and choose who can see your game activity. You can edit your profile later, too, and manage who can connect with you.
