Facebook Gaming has signed a big star, and this time it’s star soccer Brazilian – Neymar Jr.
According to GameRant, Facebook Gaming is having a stiff competition with Twitch and YouTube Gaming. Aside from their own attributes, the platform’s exclusive streamers are one of the biggest things that set them apart. With that in mind, Facebook Gaming signed Neymar Jr., one of the most famous soccer stars in the world .
When Neymar isn’t playing on the pitch, the soccer star is often spotted live streaming games like Call of Duty, Fortnite, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. In the past, the Brazilian superstar has lived on platforms other than Facebook Gaming, he was even banned from Twitch. But now, he’s signed a new deal.
In a recent tweet, Facebook Gaming announced that Neymar will be joining its platform. His first Livestream will take place on December 17. In a Facebook message, Neymar shared that he can’t wait to experience the fun of Facebook Gaming and that video games have always been one of his biggest passions.
This new contract is the latest win for Facebook Gaming. Recently, Ramee left Twitch to join exclusively with Facebook Gaming. Ramee is one of the most popular GTA 5 streamers. It seems that the fact that streaming platforms ‘scramble’ for streamers has become a common form of business, such as Ninja leaving Twitch to switch to Mixer.
Being a streamer is becoming ‘hot’ than ever. Neymar is one of the highest-paid athletes in the world, but Facebook Gaming will also become an interesting place to bring in income from the player’s passion for video games.
