Facebook Launches Its Gaming App To Take On Amazon Twitch

In a bid to take on Twitch and YouTube, Facebook on Monday launched its own gaming app on Google Play Store for Android and there were over 50 lakh downloads in no time. Faceboom Gaming app is free and will allow millions of users watch and stream live games from their smartphones.

An iOS version will be released soon, if Apple which is currently promoting its own Cloud-based gaming service Arcade, gives its approval. The app introduces a new Go Live feature, which will let users upload streams of other mobile games on the same device by pressing just a few buttons.
