Starting today, Facebook Messenger has games for all the 1.2 billion users who use the platform every month from various corners of the globe. Facebook announced a few weeks ago that it intends to offer all its users the opportunity to play directly from the chat interface, and the function is now available.
Instant Games is the name of these new games that are available in Facebook Messenger, they have been tested since November. Games like Pac-Man or Galaga are available through Facebook Messenger, in total the Facebook company states that more than 50 games are available for some of the people who use the platform.
We are talking about quite a large number of games developed for Facebook Messenger by the people at Facebook themselves, but the news does not stop there. Facebook Messenger will also have turn-based games, but the developers will have to create them first, having the possibility to create online rankings or championships for Facebook users.
To encourage users to try the games in Facebook Messenger, the company will use virtual robots that will remind us of their existence. It is not yet clear how these virtual bots will work to promote games in Facebook Messenger, but they will probably show us a variety of warning messages about games.
Facebook Messenger is one of the most important messaging platforms on the planet, and those at Facebook will use users to carry out their plans.
