Enabling Game Center functionality for games distributed outside of Mac App Store

Hello. I would like to take advantage of Game Center services for the macOS version of a game that I'm currently developing–in particular the achievement and leaderboards functionality. Can it be made possible for players to, say, be able to log into Game Center and be awarded Game Center achievements if the game was acquired from a storefront other than the Mac App Store (for example Steam or GOG?)

A good reference to keep handy is Developer Account Help > Reference > Supported capabilities (macOS). In this case it’s clear that Game Center is not supported in Developer ID apps.

Share and Enjoy
