Facebook is planning on adding games to Facebook Messenger.
According to reports, Facebook is looking to add several games to the Messenger app. The social networking behemoth is having talks with game developers to integrate their mobile games with messenger.
Facebook officially announced support for third-party app integration into Messenger at its F8 developer platform in March. Since then, the company has partnered with a small number of third-party app developers, allowing users to add photos, animations and short video clips with these other third-party apps directly to their conversations.
But, Facebook is looking to add games to that list. However, it’s still unclear whether games will run directly within Messenger, or whether users will merely send invitations to play in a third party app.
Messenger could make Facebook a ton of money. Certain apps make millions of dollars off of in-game purchases. This could be the next frontier for the Facebook company.
