As of Tuesday May 27 2014 12:01am the highly anticipated game Watch Dogs released and along with it the free Watch Dogs companion Android app. Unlike the other companion apps for video games this one you do not need to own the game to experience it. You do however need to log in to play online.
The companion app is mainly played online with other players. You can set up races and challenges as well as take down players while they are in game. Yes that means you can mess up someones play session if of course they allow it. To play online with other players you will need either one of the three choices all of which are free. Either a free Xbox live or PlayStation network account, to play against consoles or a Ubisoft Uplay account for PC players.
With the release of this app I hope this sparks a new way of interacting with other players via console or PC. This I feel will set the bar on how companion apps should be from now on and can not wait to see how this inspires others.
