The social network gaming application is now available for download on Android smartphones. Like Twitch, Mixer, and YouTube Gaming, it allows you to share a live game with your friends and subscribers.

Facebook Gaming is now available for all users with an Android smartphone. The social network has just made its mobile game streaming application available for download from the Play Store.

Initially available only on Android, the app, still being validated on the App Store, should also be available in the coming days on iOS. Long awaited, Facebook Gaming had already been available for several months in Latin America and Southeast Asia where the social network was testing it.

Compete Twitch, YouTube Gaming and Mixer

By launching its application during the current period of global containment, Facebook hopes to maintain the social connection between gamers. However, the social network intends above all to compete with already well-established services such as Twitch, YouTube Gaming and Mixer.

This new platform is based on a recipe that works: it allows users to play games instantly without downloading them, to broadcast or watch games in streaming, to follow the news of their favorite games or even to subscribe to streamers.
