Providing all necessary functionalities for creating award winning mobile multiplayer and connected applications in one integrated service, the solution is already used by companies such as Vodafone, T-Mobile and Sony Ericsson. The new version 2.5 comes up with a public multiplayer extension for Qualcomm's Brew environment connecting both Java and Brew subscribers worldwide. Furthermore, Exit Games Neutron 2.5 incorporates several new and improved features for game play, community and communications, including server-to client information channels for in-game news or advertising, multi-language event management, a "Tell-a-friend" function which facilitates the spread of viral marketing campaigns from mobile phone to mobile phone, and management of complex tournament functions. The latter will be exclusively used to power the international tournaments of the World Cyber Games mobile, a forthcoming mobile gaming tournament created by Indiagames in association with the WCG organizers. Exit Games has also enhanced servers by offering customized Game Servers for trading card games, asynchronous multiplayer games, and persistent world games.
