Gamers will be able to send gifts to other players through Google's game store.

The search giant announced addition of several new features, aimed at users and developers, to its Play Games app marketplace, including sending virtual gifts during a game.

According to Mashable, the new features also include cross-platform support for iOS and new analytics tools for developers.

The search giant would also expand multiplayer support to include iOS, making it possible for Android users to play turn-based games in real-time with iOS users.

For developers, the company has added new tools to make it easier for creators to monetize their apps through in-app ads, as well as analyze user engagement with more support for Google Analytics.

The report said that the new additions for users and developers would become available in this week.
