A NEW APP FOR GAMERS: FACEBOOK LAUNCHES AN EXCLUSIVE GAMING APP ON PLAY STORE FOR ITS USERS

In the last few years, applications like Instagram and Whatsapp have seen more users than Facebook. Although there are a significant number of Facebook users, unfortunately, many are dead accounts. The younger generation now regards Facebook as outdated. However, Mark Zuckerberg and his team are striving to make amends in order to gain more users for the application.

Facebook launched its live gaming app for Android users last week. Although the launch was planned for June, the team has released the app earlier since people across the globe are mostly maintaining social distance and are staying indoors. This massive gaming investment has culminated more 700 million from 2.5 billion users. Users are actively playing games through the platform.

The application has the same colour gradient as that of Instagram. Users must sign in with their Facebook account and can then see the various PC and mobile games that are available. After choosing from them, a user can select their favourite Facebook streamers as well. Hence, the application is an amalgamation of YouTube and traditional Facebook features. This allows users to play, scroll through memes, chat with friends, and also stream online.

There are in-built games such as basketball, football, and so on. This application has not been released for Apple users, but it is expected to soon crack through for them as well.
