Facebook Gaming is already a hub for the gaming community. Where gamers can watch their favorite streamers, play casual games, and chat about anything game-related. While Facebook has been working on its gaming app for a few years now, after its debut in the Philippines in 2018, Facebook Gaming is now available to all Android users in the United States.
But, the app is only available for Android users via the Google Play Store. However, the iOS version is being approved by Apple and should appear in the Apple Store soon. On Monday, the social media giant officially launched a dedicated mobile app called Facebook Gaming Worldwide. Where people can create and watch live gameplay. The app has been available for testing in Southeast Asia and Latin America for the past 18 months.
There will be scope for Facebook, though, as the earlier report shows that from February to March, watch hours on Facebook Gaming increased by 3.8%. As the company says, over 700 million users already interact with gaming content on the main Facebook app. Facebook Gaming also added a feature called “Go Live,” which enables users to livestream mobile games directly from their smartphones to Facebook. But, for now, Facebook does not include ads in the app, and monetization is quite limited. However, it lets people earn money with some limits that let fans obtain one-time payments. The company announced it would explore more monetization options over some time.
