Facebook tests fb.gg app for Android

Facebook has released a beta version of a new gaming app.

The app is essentially a mobile version of Facebook's gaming hub - fb.gg. However, it's only available to limited users on Android devices.

Going mobile

It looks to be a condensed version of the desktop and mobile browser versions of fb.gg, but presumably it'll work similarly to Twitch and YouTube's mobile apps.

Facebook has been steadily making moves in the gaming space. It already has a custom destination and a handful of exclusive creators. It also moved quickly to create monetisation and management tools for influencers.
