Download Xfire 1.42

Xfire has been updated to version 1.42. This program is specially designed for gamers. It looks like a standard IM program, but in addition to chatting there is also the possibility to see from the people on the contact list which game they are playing. Then one can simply add oneself to that game. At the moment, according to this page more than 350 games are supported, of which 129 games can be directly joined from the program via “Instant Joining”. The changelog of this release shows the following changes:
