Exit Games’ Neutron cross platform multiplayer gaming service announced yesterday that they’ve upgraded to now include iPhone support.

Neutron will now feature game lobbies and various matchmaking capabilities, real-time, turn based tournament and multiplayer options,  buddy lists, leaderboards, profiles, in-game voice and text chat, and last but not least, our personal favorite: billing and in-game microtransactions.

“The iPhone presents a very unique opportunity for mobile online gaming as it is both specifically designed for online services and comes with the App Store, an already successful and accessible distribution channel”, said Christof Wegmann, CTO of Exit Games. “Neutron’s support of this new and innovative mobile device will ensure that iPhone game developers have a means to take advantage of its wireless connectivity and add social gaming features.” Wegmann further adds, “The iPhone will surely establish itself as a dominant mobile gaming platform and we’re pleased to support multiplayer and social features in games developed for the device.”

Neutron utilizes not one, but 5 SDK’s to provide a wide variety of connectivity and features right out of the gate.  Together with it’s hosting services, it allows developers to use even some of their most sophisticated features on a mobile platform, with a minimum time and cost investment.  Adding support for the wonder of Cupertino was a no brainer (and probably little to no sweat) for Exit Games, as the Neutron already supports J2ME, BREW, Windows Mobile, Flash Lite, and Blackberry, not to mention PC and console platforms.
