Gisteren is versie 1.64 van Xfire uitgebracht. Xfire is een chatprogramma voor gamers en stelt je in staat om zowel binnen als buiten spellen te chatten in tekst en spraak, te zien welk spel je vrienden op dit moment aan het spelen zijn en kunnen gamepatches en demo's via een eigen P2P-netwerk worden binnengehaald. In versie 1.64 zijn onder andere een groot aantal verbeteringen aangebracht aan de nieuwe en nog in bètafase verkerende Clans & Guilds-feature, kan het programma beter overweg met Windows Vista en Internet Explorer 7, en worden natuurlijk de nodige nieuwe spellen ondersteund. Hieronder zijn alle veranderingen te vinden die sinds de vorige vermelding in de meuktracker aangebracht zijn:
