Raptr, previously called GXL, Inc., is a startup company that is engineering a new way for users to discover new games and share their gaming experiences with friends. Founded in 2007, Raptr has raised several million dollars from a group of investors. Their offices are located in Mountain View, CA.

Raptr has both desktop software and web service components. The client allows users to instant message with friends and keeps PC-based games completely up to date with new patches, updates, etc. The website, at Raptr.com, will pull in gaming data from the Raptr client and will include a social network around friends, stats, games, groups and other content. The website will also include a news feed of what all your friends are up to.
