TikTok has been testing a number of HTML5 minigames on the video-sharing app in the country.
And it’s claimed TikTok, which is owned by China’s ByteDance, plans to rollout gaming more widely in Southeast Asia, perhaps as early as the third quarter of 2022.
While Reuters said it wasn’t privy to TikTok’s plans for gaming in other markets, last November Zynga soft launched Disco Loco 3D, the “first HTML5 title to debut on the platform from an official game studio partner”, in selected markets ahead of a planned global release.
One of Reuters’ sources claimed TikTok’s gaming ambitions extend beyond the introduction of minigames, while another said the platform’s games are expected to carry advertisements from the start, with revenue shared between ByteDance and developers.
“We’re always looking at ways to enrich our platform and regularly test new features and integrations that bring value to our community,” a TikTok spokesperson told the publication, while declining to comment on the company’s broader gaming plans.
