Minigames have always been part of some of the most popular social networks of the moment, as is the case with Facebook and also the now defunct Tuenti. Now it is TikTok that intends to get on this ship with the aim of offering a way of entertainment and interaction to users.
This is something that the company has already started testing a few months ago, but it seems that they will soon arrive officially for all users . In this way, content creators will have at their disposal one more tool to entertain their followers.
TikTok goes interactive
There is no doubt that TikTok is one of the most popular platforms in recent years and it is precisely for this reason that its creators want it to continue to evolve to guarantee a complete experience. That is why the app allows you to share videos while inserting a minigame with the add link button and choosing the “Minigame” option.
Accessing the game is as simple as touching the link in question , so you can not only have fun with the huge number of memes that you can find, but also play for some variation in content. This means that the app has become more versatile to reach a larger audience.
Currently, the TikTok team is working together with various developers to create interesting mini-games for the social network . Well-known partners include Aim Lab, as well as Nitro Games, FRVR, and Lotum. So we could soon have several mini-games at our disposal.
early development
At the moment, the TikTok minigames are in the early stages of development, while the company works to integrate them into the application itself. The company has already announced that they will be completely free and that they will not have ads , although who knows if in the future or very distant they will bet on them as a monetization tool.
The social network is also evaluating the different ways in which content creators could use them, as well as how users can interact with them. Another eye-catching feature is the ability to record gameplay and post it later as a video.
TikTok has been planning its foray into the video game industry for some time, as the most current movements of the application and its parent company, ByteDance, already suggested that they had an idea to include them on the platform. In fact, ByteDance acquired developer Moonton Technology last year and is collaborating to create two mobile games known as Disco Loco 3D and Garden of Good, of which we know next to nothing.
The types of mini-games that the app will integrate are a complete unknown , although it is quite likely that they are minimalist works with a basic purpose that are very different from the games that you can find on Android. On the other hand, TikTok is not the first company to seek a method to access this industry, as other brands such as Google, Apple, Netflix and the aforementioned Facebook have done the same to bring video games to their respective ecosystems.
