Facebook Gaming Dabbles In The World Of Cloud Gaming, But Is Already In A Tiff With Apple

News 18  

Social media giant Facebook has well and truly arrived in the world of cloud gaming platforms and has made its intentions quite clear about taking on Google and Amazon. Unlike Google Stadia and Amazon Luna, the biggest advantage Facebook Gaming will have is that it isn’t a standalone app, but adds cloud gaming to the existing Facebook app. The cloud playable games are launching on the Facebook app on Android and also on the web at this time, while Facebook says they are working on alternative options for Apple iPhone users. Facebook Gaming not being available for Apple devices including the iPhone and the iPad simply follows on from strict App Store guidelines that Apple has. Apple App Store policies have a problem with the way the cloud gaming services work—a user pays a subscription for the service and the service then lets you access and play games on the cloud, with no game data being saved on your device.
