Manage scores and players

You can view and manage the top 100 scores and players for Game Center leaderboards with Live status. This helps you maintain a fair playing environment by deleting fake scores or blocking players that engage in fraudulent behavior.

You can restore scores and players that were removed within the last 30 days. To restore scores and players that were removed more than 30 days ago, contact us.
