Facebook Gaming arrived a couple of days ago in these parts and it is being launched regionally around the world. A service that wants to face directly against Twitch, the king in this and that has been defending itself for years from other attempts such as YouTube Gaming.
The social network is pulled directly to fight against Twitch with your own app and use its platform to tempt millions of people to follow streamers and even make live videos of their favorite games. Let's see how well the social network has done with its Facebook Gaming.
A version of Facebook focused on gaming
Facebook Gaming has been available for a year and a half in different countries such as Latin America so that it can now be played from the United States and even our country. If we say played it is because in addition to being able to enjoy the streamers' games, it has a tab in which we can play casual games against our contacts.
Facebook Gaming focuses on a timeline to the use of its social network, but focused on games and in which the publications of our contacts are not lacking either; a tab to play those casual games; Y another in which we will find all that content closely linked to Twitch and to which we will really focus to see the best current games.
Nor does it leave out a tab for messages and thus follow private conversations or in groups with those colleagues with whom we will enjoy different games. The truth is that it is a huge cocktail that the social network has prepared with Facebook Gaming, and perhaps this is its best or even its worst virtue.
Stream in real time with your mobile with Facebook Gaming
Another of the virtues of Facebook Gaming is the possibility of uploading your own streaming and even streaming in real time so that all the contacts you have on Facebook can see you. Perhaps this is, apart from the possibility of use those "twitch" features in gaming, one of the best options, since from now on your people will be able to see your games.
As easy as going to the ice cream icon tab to click on "live" and we will see a list of available games to stream. If you have PUBG Mobile, it will recommend using it to start streaming in real time.
But we also have the option to upload the streams that we have recorded and thus we will save having to install any third-party app on our PC to upload to the platform. It is a great benefit that Facebook Gaming offers us to be able to create a whole network of friends around us and thus increase our followers and reproductions progressively.
The future of Facebook Gaming
As it reaches more regions, Facebook will show more muscle, although it has already published some figures for the first quarter of the year. In total they have been 554 million hours on Facebook, while YouTube has 1.100 million hours and Twitch reaches 3.100 million hours. In other words, the pie of the reproduction of this content is going to be distributed, apart from increasing due to the confinement measures that have taken place around the world. In fact we will share this series of multiplayer online games For these days.
Facebook Gaming is going to be a major player on the sceneas it is going to force Twitch to keep improving and YouTube to do the same. If you have that part of being able to follow streaming, comment and everything that surrounds live broadcasts, being able to do it from your mobile, added to the millions you have on your social network, is possibly a great option for anyone who wants to start in this of the retransmissions.
An app Facebook called Gaming that will try to make you follow your streamers favorites, upload your own videos, make your favorite mobile games live or comment on the most interesting games of any current game.
