Facebook gaming launches Pac-Man community 

San Francisco: Facebook Gaming and Bandai Namco have officially launched PAC-MAN community, a new take on the arcade classic.  

As per details, the Facebook instant game is playable with up to three friends, working together to complete mazes, while also competing for the highest score. 

In the game's Watch mode, viewers can see streamers playing the game, and pick sides in what Facebook is calling an "interactive PAC-MAN watch party." 

There is also an option to play with a Streamer, where viewers can jump right into a game with the push of a button. The game connects players, gaming video creators, viewers, and world builders together in fun new ways.

In addition to Pac-Man Community’s built-in mazes, players can create their own levels and challenges through the Maze Creator tool for endless replayability. 

Moreover, a Maze Creator tool allows players the ability to create their own maps. 

A trailer for PAC-MAN COMMUNITY can be found in the Tweet embedded below.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg also shared a video of him playing with a few other company execs. 

Facebook Gaming’s director of product management, Oliver Messenger, said in an interview with GamesBeat that Facebook already has a big presence on the social side of games, and it has made moves into hosting games through its cloud gaming experiences across mobile and the desktop. It has a platform for creators to livestream their gameplay and monetize their fans.

“We provide a place for people to connect around games and their shared interests of games, and we have more than 900 million people playing, watching, or connecting around games,” Messenger said. “But we feel that we can be far more unique and create more powerful and special experiences when we combine those pillars together.”

User can play solo or through real-time co-op multiplayer in groups up to four, working together to complete each maze while still competing against each other for the highest point total. 

Facebook debuted Play with Streamer with Worlds FRVR in August.
