As everyone knows that Fb needs to change into the one place on the web the place individuals hang around collectively, and it has largely succeeded in doing so. It began as a easy social media web site the place you can join with your mates, and now it’s extra of a social media behemoth which has every little thing to your wants together with movies, images, articles, newsfeed, and extra. Mainly, it has change into a platform the place individuals share each kind of content material with one another. Nonetheless, there’s nonetheless an internet group which has roughly stayed away from Fb’s rising presence and that’s the gaming group.
However, that may change in future as Fb is testing a brand new function will assist players discover different players to play video games with. Some customers have reported that they’re seeing a “Discover Gamers” function inside the realm the place one typically clicks to compose his/her posts and statuses. After a consumer clicks on the Discover Gamers button he’s prompted to enter his identify, group identify, an outline, a hashtag, and a photograph. As soon as the consumer has created a group, he can publish it on his wall and individuals who need to be part of his group can ship him the becoming a member of requests.
Nonetheless, in its present stage, the function does solely that. Proper now it doesn’t help any integration with different on-line gaming platforms like Steam and Xbox reside. Nonetheless, that’s comprehensible because the function remains to be in its beta testing part and isn’t prepared for primetime. However, seeing Fb’s curiosity within the gaming group, it gained’t be lengthy earlier than the corporate begins rolling out options to lure players onto its platform.
I can particularly see this function being useful for video games which doesn’t have their very own full-fledged on-line platform. For instance, indie recreation builders may use Fb’s Discover Gamers options so as to add an internet multiplayer gaming mode. However, all that’s nonetheless a hypothesis now as Fb has not launched any official assertion on the topic. However, seeing Fb’s monitor document, I gained’t be shock to see them integrating a full-fledged gaming interface on their platform for wooing the gaming group.
