The company has plans to release the app for iOS devices once \u201cApple approves them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Facebook has invested in gaming for years, and has tried to build up its streaming community by partnering with different creators and hosting esports tournaments. Despite Facebook\u2019s large user base \u2014 more than 2.5 billion people use Facebook every month \u2014 it still lags behind Twitch and YouTube (owned by Amazon and Google, respectively) when it comes to hours of gameplay watched.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-exrw3m evys1bk0\">With much of the world urged or ordered to stay home during\u00a0the coronavirus outbreak, the $160 billion global games business is booming. Facebook originally intended to release the app in June but accelerated its plans as the quarantine\u2019s scope became clear.\u00a0Twitch and YouTube still dominate the industry.
