SAN FRANCISCO--()--Kabam, the leader in the western world for free-to-play core games, announced today that it is the first games company to implement Google+ Sign-In. The new integration will provide users with a simple and secure sign-in process on Kabam.com and the ability to engage users with interactive posts, which allow players to share content and prompt friends to take specific actions in their games.

Signing in with Google on Kabam.com will allow players to quickly access the games they love, bypassing registration forms and eliminating the need to create new usernames and passwords. The integration will ultimately enable players on Kabam.com to instantly download and install Kabam’s mobile apps to their Android devices for continuous play on the go.

“It was a no-brainer for us to implement Google+ Sign-In to bring a faster, more convenient way for Kabam players and Google users to access, discover and share our games. Players who have been playing games like Dragons of Atlantis or Godfather on Google+ will be able to pick up right where they left off and continue playing on Kabam.com,” said Kabam Chief Operating Officer Chris Carvalho.

“Kabam is paving the way as the first games company to launch Google+ Sign-In, and we look forward to connecting players on Kabam.com and creating even more engaging experiences for them across both Kabam and Google,” said Seth Sternberg, Director of Product Management at Google.
