Snapchat is a pretty relevant app these days, right? It may well be, but we don't connect it with gaming all that much, something that might change if The Information is to be believed (as shared by GamesIndustry.biz), as they claim the company is launching a gaming platform.
Snap Inc. is reportedly planning to create a gaming platform as part of the app, coming this summer and apparently already having one developer on board. The venture will allegedly go beyond the app's previous efforts to incorporate smaller games into the platform, and it will include a store to download games, with the whole thing being in development for at least a year.
The company has invested in British gaming startup PlayCanvas this year, so it's not as if they're totally separate from the gaming space, but this sounds like a much meatier venture if the report is true.
Do you think you could game in Snapchat?
