TikTok is developing games for mobile devices

Social media platform, TikTok is now getting involved in video games. Several IPs are currently in development which should allow gamers to play directly via the app.

Trials for this new feature have begun in Vietnam and, if they are conclusive, the mobile games should then be released worldwide. On Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, the possibility of playing video games has been included since 2019. Thus, it is likely that this option will become a permanent feature of the mobile app in the near future.

As the video game industry is booming, generating over $180 billion in revenues in 2021, social media networks are trying to capitalise on it. TikTok has even launched its own version of Twitch called “TikTok Live Studio”. It is still in beta but it allows players to livestream their games.
