This can prove an excellent timing for Facebook’s gaming app as the current situation has pushed many people into playing games while in quarantine at their homes. You can play games, watch them with your friends or stream your gameplay on Facebook with just one click. However, the monetization is not available for now.

YouTube has also experimented with a gaming app but ended up shutting it down last year. Twitch remains the leader in game streaming, but now Facebook has entered the industry with a dedicated app for Android.

The iOS version of the app is not available for now. An internal report says that Facebook has submitted the app and is awaiting Apple’s approval to get live on the App Store. The gaming industry is booming, and people are playing games more than ever due to the COVID-19 situation.
