Facebook launches gaming app on Google Play Store

Facebook has been changing over the years with many engaging features. Now when live gaming is catching everyone’s attention during the lockdown period, Facebook is all set for this as well.

Facebook’s dedicated Gaming app is now live on Android, months before its planned June release but Apple users can enjoy the perks of it later.

Facebook’s massive gaming investment has culminated in more 700 million of the sites’s 2.5 billion users actively playing games through the platform monthly. The launch of a devoted app is a clear next step for content that has, until now, been the domain of the site’s Gaming tab.

Twitch and YouTube are among the biggest competitors for the app’s gaming Go Live streaming feature. Facebook has already has a massive platform in its own Live offering, which is currently seeing high levels of use as isolated users seek some manner of human connection during the COVID-19 shutdown. With Go Live, users can share gaming streams directly to their Facebook page.

This Gaming app is more or less a hub where users can find Facebook’s gaming content. If you’re looking to play one of those casual games we mentioned before, you’ll find it in the app. You’ll find those in the app as well. You can even use the app to livestream gameplay content from your phone to Facebook, if you feel so inclined.
