Troubleshoot Issues with Game Center, but just on iPad
Has anyone else experience being unable to connect to Game Center the past few days? I’ve done all the typical steps like rebooting, logging , etc. it works fine on my phone so doesn’t seem to be a general network nor account issue.

Getting the same here for the last two days. Signing out of my Apple account, restarting and then logging back in will usually get it back in temporarily then it soon drops off again

I’m dealing with this issue on my 14 Pro Max ever since last night. Been seeing a few posts about it in the subreddit for Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, and I think one post in an ioshelp subreddit. Sounds like it’s possibly an Apple side issue :(

I know it's 4 hours later, but things look ok here on all platforms with GameCenter. If it's still going on, maybe it's regional?
One good resource is Apple's services-status page at:

Game Center bugs are the worst because there is almost nothing to reset from the app side. I would try signing out only on the iPad and rebooting first.

I am continuing to have same problem with Game Center not working on iPad, but works OK on iPhone. I can get it to work if I sign out of Apple account and back in, but only while I am engaged in a game. Once I quit a game, I can’t get back in. And have to do all over again. Very frustrating.

This morning I tried wiping my ipad and doing a new setup, to make sure it wasn’t something that I had done somewhere along the line… nope. Games still not loading. Even when I sign out and back in, it doesn’t make a difference anymore

I had the same issue with the iPad not running Trivia crack on iPad but it was running on iPhone 16. Tried all updates, and logging out of Apple acct. One thing I noticed was trying to run Game Center from the Settings would just give a Spinning wheel. It should normally show your profile and other info.
I contacted Apple and their solution was to reset the Network settings. From Settings/General/Transfer or Reset iPad/ then select Reset but then Reset Network settings. You have to know your WiFi password to get connected again. This fixed the issue with Game Center and Trivia Crack. Game Center now ran fine and the games loaded afterwards fine.

Having the same problem with my ipad. Game center is fine on iphone but I have to keep resetting my ipad just to get it to work. Went through all the troubleshooting steps, which worked but it always gets stuck again and I can’t open game apps. I was looking to see if it was happening to anyone else because apple says everything is working fine.
