That means instead of only being able to play games like Space Invadersby yourself, you can compete against friends either in turn-by-turn gameplay or in global leaderboards. Developers can now begin to add support for the new features to existing games.

Facebook first previewed the new Instant Games features a few weeks ago at F8, but this is the first time the new "rich gameplay" features are starting to roll out.

Instant Games, which first launched in November, is also expanding to all of the messaging app's users, worldwide. (It was previously only available in 30 countries.) There are a total of 50 games available on the platform, which gets its name from the quick loading time of the HTML5-based games.

Gaming inside Messenger may sound gimmicky, but it's a common messaging feature in much of Asia. And Facebook says there is a demand for the feature in the U.S. too. The company has previously said the success of the somewhat hidden but super addicting basketball game it added to the app just over a year ago was what inspired a bigger gaming platform.
