SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING ANONYMOUS GUEST PLAYERS IN A MULTIPLAYER ENVIRONMENT

摘要

Methods, devices, and system for providing anonymous guest players for multiplayer applications are described. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes initiating a game service for playing a multiplayer gaming application on a system, providing with a multiplayer API functionality for defining and adding an anonymous guest player to the system, generating data including a gaming invite that provides an ability to invite one or more friends that are registered with the game service and one or more anonymous guest players that are not registered with the game service. The method further includes receiving an input that identifies or selects an anonymous guest player to invite to play the multi-player gaming application on the system. The computer-implemented method further includes receiving data intended for the anonymous guest player from a different system of the multiplayer gaming application for peer to peer gaming applications.
