Sensing that the world needs all the entertainment it can get during this period of social distancing and isolation, Facebook has accelerated the launch of its Facebook Gaming mobile app, as reported by the New York Times. Initially slated for a June release, a representative for the social network revealed that the Facebook Gaming app could be arriving as soon as tomorrow. The app is set to launch on Android devices for the first time on April 20, while Facebook is waiting for Apple to approve a version of the platform for iOS devices. "We're seeing an increase in gaming during the lockdown," said Facebook app manager Fiji Simo, speaking about why the social media giant has pushed the launch of its Facebook gaming app. "Investing in gaming in general has become a priority for us because we see gaming as a form of entertainment that really connects people," Simo said, explaining that "it's entertainment that's not just a form of consumption passive, but interactive entertainment that brings people together."
