Xfire (pronounced "X-Fire") was a proprietary freeware instant messaging service for gamers that also served as a game server browser with various other features. It was available for Microsoft Windows.
Xfire was originally developed by Ultimate Arena based in Menlo Park, California. As of January 3, 2014, it had over 24 million registered users.
Xfire's Livestream (formerly known as Mogulus) allowed users to broadcast live video streams of their current game to an audience. The Xfire website also maintained a "Top Ten" games list, ranking games by the number of hours Xfire users spend playing each game every day. World of Warcraft had been the most played game for many years, but was surpassed by League of Legends on June 20, 2011.
Xfire hosted events every month, which included debates, game tournaments, machinima contests, and chat sessions with Xfire or game developers.
Xfire's web based social media was discontinued on June 12, 2015, and the messaging client was shut down on June 27, 2015. The last of Xfire's services were shut down on April 30, 2016.
