Download Xfire 1.87

Yesterday Xfire released version 1.87 of its chat program of the same name, which is mainly intended for the avid gamers. It is possible to chat both indoors and outdoors via text and speech. Statistics are also kept of the performance in various games, it is possible to see which games the people from your contact list are currently playing and game patches and demos can be downloaded via your own p2p network. Currently, just over a thousand games are supported, of which 175 are the so-called ‘one click join‘ and over 500 ‘in game chat‘ support. The changelog of this release shows the following changes:
