Facebook Gaming Service Streamers earned $50 million in 2020
Facebook reported that in 2020, the authors of the Facebook Gaming streaming platform earned $ 50 million. The company also shared news about updating the donation system.In 2020, content creators on Facebook Gaming received over 5 billion stars — a special currency that is used as donations.
For users, the cost of buying a pack of 125 stars is $1.99, and streamers receive $0.01 for one star.
At the same time, the author can cash out virtual currency only if his account has at least 10 thousand stars (equivalent to $ 100). Facebook also reported that now over 2,000 streamers earn more than $1,000 a month on stars, subscriptions and advertising.Along with summing up the results of the year, the company announced the introduction of additional ways to support content authors. These include an updated virtual gift system and two new chat features: highlighting comments with stars and pinning messages with big stars.
Recall that Facebook Gaming appeared on mobile platforms only this year. However, on iOS, the application was released in a truncated form — it did not have a previously launched cloud gaming service and other functions related to games.
