While you can't completely remove the Game Center app on your iOS device, you can keep it from functioning so that you aren't bothered by notifications for it. You'll need to sign out of Game Center so that it's no longer using your Apple ID. You can then turn notifications for it completely off.

Cancel any Game Center windows that appear four times. Even after doing all of this, Game Center may still appear when certain games are loaded. This is because the games are designed to work with Game Center, and will always try to open it. Cancelling the window that appears four times in a row will completely disable those notifications.[3]
