Facebook Gaming said more than 700 million of its 2.4 billion active users "engage with" gaming content on its platform each month. For the first time, Facebook is breaking down what those 700 million plus people are doing: More than 380 million of them play games such as "Farmville" each month, and 200 million watch gaming livestreams. About 120 to 130 game creators initially rejected overtures from Facebook Gaming but eventually moved after seeing others successfully do so. On Friday, the Facebook Gaming mobile app launched on iOS, after Apple repeatedly rejected a version of the app that would contain games. YouTube Gaming has 200 million daily active users, and did not have monthly data to share.
