XFire is a messaging and chat client for gamers that offers a number of features that fit seamlessly into the PC gaming experience. XFire users can locate their friends and see who is online currently and what games are being played, XFire users can then join their friend’s game with one click from the XFire client and chat inside the game window while playing with their friends. XFire also provides gamers with server tracking tools, a P2P file sharing service to get mods and patches to their games, voice chat, and centralized gaming stats. XFire’s supported game titles include some of the biggest online games like World of Warcraft and Call of Duty.
XFire was acquired by Viacom in April 2006, and as of December 2007 XFire is only compatible with PC’s running Windows. XFire competes with browser-based gaming social networks like GuildCafe and Curse.
