Gameroom is a new gaming platform launched by the company Facebook during this day, it being practically a competitor of the famous Steam platform. Facebook tested it for several months before officially offering it to global users, and now everyone can enjoy the games that are available to Facebook users.
Gameroom is available as an app store through a Windows app, with only web games available on the platform for now. Any user who has Windows 7 or a newer version can install the Facebook Gameroom application, which is currently available in beta format for users and developers.
With 1.7 billion active users globally, Facebook has a very large base for promoting Gameroom, but it's hard to say how many will try it. Steam, the somewhat direct competitor, has 125 million active users globally, but offers much more complex games that also require powerful computers to run.
Gameroom – Facebook's gaming platform
Through Gameroom, the Facebook company is trying to enter the market of PC games, but in a form as simple as possible, considering the way the platform is designed. However, just like in the case of AppStore or Google Play, Gameroom will charge a percentage of 30% of the proceeds for games sold to users.
Until now, the games available on the Facebook social network have proven to be extremely popular, so the Gameroom idea is based on the previous success of the games. There is a chance that Facebook will attract several hundred million people to the Gameroom platform, but only if it has good enough titles.
If you are interested in trying Facebook Gameroom, then you just have to access it Home of the platform and download the application for Windows. From it you can access all the games available at the moment, the Gameroom offer will grow as new developers publish their titles.
