A prime example of this being Google’s Stadia, a subscription cloud gaming service that allows users to purchase titles for $60 and utilize them through a Google Chrome browser, which has failed to generate significant results. Conversely, Microsoft has launched Project xCloud and plans to roll it in with the ‘Xbox Game Pass Ultimate’ service, giving subscribers unparalleled access to hundreds of titles.

Facebook is dipping its toes into the cloud gaming space with the release of six titles including Asphalt 9: Legends, by GameloftMobile Legends: Adventure by Moonton; PGA TOUR Golf Shootout by Concrete Software, Inc.; Solitaire: Arthur’s Tale by Qublix Games; and WWE SuperCard by 2K.

The social network giant said it will add Dirt Bike Unchained by Red Bull in the coming weeks.

Going back to its roots

“Cloud gaming helps shed the technical limitations of our past while bringing us back to our roots at the same time. Facebook has always been about delivering games that are free, social, and accessible to as many people as possible,” said Rubin.
