Raptr, previously called GXL, Inc., is a startup company that is pioneering a new way for users to discover new games and share their gaming experiences with friends. Founded in 2007 by successful entrepreneurs and star engineers from Google, Yahoo, Bioware, Adobe and Netscape, Raptr has raised several million dollars from an all-star group of investors. Their offices are located in Sunnyvale, CA.
Raptr has both desktop software and web service components. The client keeps PC-based games completely up to date behind the scenes - patches, updates, etc. are downloaded automatically. 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.
