Blizzard Will Allow Users to Stream Its Games Via Facebook Live

Facebook partnered with video game company Blizzard Entertainment to integrate Facebook Login and the Facebook Live API into Blizzard's games.

Facebook and video-game company Blizzard Entertainment announced that Blizzard will integrate Facebook Login and the Facebook Live API into its games. The Live API will allow Blizzard’s players to stream gameplay directly to their Facebook Timelines.

Blizzard will add Facebook Login to its PC games later this month. This will allow users to sign up for and log in to games such as World of Warcraft, Heroes of the Storm, Hearthstone, Overwatch (pictured) and more using their Facebook accounts.

Meanwhile, the integration of the Facebook Live API will add “Go Live” streaming functionality to Blizzard’s titles.
