Playing games in Facebook Messenger is eroticism storyno longer a solo affair.
The company just announced a new upgrade to its Instant Games, the mini games you can play inside chats with friends. With the new update, Messenger will now support turn-based games.
SEE ALSO: Messenger Day is making me unload randos on Facebook (and maybe that's a good thing)That means instead of only being able to play games like Space Invadersby yourself, you can compete against friends either in turn-by-turn gameplay or in global leaderboards. Developers can now begin to add support for the new features to existing games.
Facebook also announced that new titles will be added to the app, including 8 Ball Pool (coming "very soon") and Zynga's Words With Friends, which is launching today on Messenger (because we all need yet another place to play Words With Friends, right?)

Instant Games, which first launched in November, is also expanding to all of the messaging app's users, worldwide. (It was previously only available in 30 countries.) There are a total of 50 games available on the platform, which gets its name from the quick loading time of the HTML5-based games.
Gaming inside Messenger may sound gimmicky, but it's a common messaging feature in much of Asia. And Facebook says there is a demand for the feature in the U.S. too. The company has previously said the success of the somewhat hidden but super addicting basketball game it added to the app just over a year ago was what inspired a bigger gaming platform.
