Family fun
Facebook is now set to open Messenger up to third-party developers, though it appears they will be restricted to producing turn-based games.
HTML5 is said to be the technology behind Instant Games, as Facebook looks to maximise compatibility with a variety of devices.
High hopes
It remains to be seen if Facebook will allow developers to integrate in-game purchases or advertising, though both would certainly boost the social network's bottom line.
Regardless, a potentially high-volume gaming platform should keep users coming back to Messenger as Facebook continues to extend the functionality of the standalone app.
