Facebook Gaming app launched for Android users, supports Livestream

The app is currently available for download via Google Play Store, will be available for iOS devices soon

In order to take on Twitch as well as Youtube the popular social networking platform Facebook launched its own Gaming app. The app debuted as the Facebook Gaming app. The gaming app has been under testing in Southeast Asia and Latin America for more than a year now. 

The Facebook Gaming app is aimed at live-streaming gameplay just like its rival counterparts Twitch, YouTube, and Mixer. Earlier the gaming app was scheduled for a June launch but taking the best advantage of the pandemic situation the company decided to introduce the app at the best time when all the other gaming platforms are blooming as people including kids are confined to home to reduce the risk of coronavirus and are spending hours gaming having not many available options to lessen the boredom.

The company Facebook announced the Gaming app via Twitter. The tweet reads, “We know you’ve waited patiently. Well, folks, the day has come: we’re launching FarmVille in VR! j/k, sorry, kind mobs of Twitter, don’t @ us! We’re actually launching the Facebook Gaming app on Google Play.”
