GameBuddy helps gamers find people to play with: gaming friends, teammates, a co-op partner, a duo, a squad or a raid group. Tell it what you play and how, and it shows you real profiles ranked by how well they actually fit. Pass or match. When you both say yes, a private chat opens. It works across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and mobile, and it is looking-for-group (LFG) without the wall of stale posts: a deck to swipe, a lobby to open, a Discord to find each other on.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Say what you play. Pick your games, your platforms and how you like to play: tryhard, completionist, chill co-op. Six screens, about a minute.
2. Swipe the deck. Real profiles, ranked by how well they actually fit what you said. Pass or match.
3. Match and play. When you both match, the conversation opens. Then go play something.

WHAT MAKES A MATCH A MATCH

• Matched on what you play. GameBuddy learns from the games and play styles on your profile, not from a list of tags you scroll past.
• Platform-aware. PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch or mobile. Two people with identical libraries on different boxes cannot actually play together, so the match takes that into account.
• Lobbies. Browse open lobbies and ask to join a team, or open your own for the game and time you want: competitive, chill, casual or learning. The owner picks the team, and every lobby has its own chat.
• Super Like. Say yes and tell them straight away.
• Discord on your profile. Linked and verified, so nobody can put your name on theirs.
• Chat that stays private. Message bodies are encrypted at rest: the database stores ciphertext, not your conversation. Typing indicators and read receipts included.
• Moderated, and adults only. Every photo is screened before anyone else sees it. Block or report anyone; reports are reviewed within 24 hours. A profanity filter covers all seven languages. 18 or over, checked against a date of birth.
• Missions, badges and a daily streak. Over 25 missions, badges earned by actually using the app, and coins for showing up every day. The hardest badges award a profile frame.
• The Market. Spend coins on card themes, frames, banners and bundles. Coins come from the streak, missions and optional short videos; promotion codes are redeemed in Settings.
• Free to play, properly. Matching, chat, friends and lobbies are free, with a daily limit on likes. Gold is optional: see who liked you, no daily limit, filters by game, region and who is online now, the Gold frame and banner, a monthly coin bonus, and your own lobbies. It does not gate the thing you came for.
