Vice president of play Jason Rubin was quoted as saying that Facebook’s cloud gaming service is not along the lines of that launched by Google and Microsoft which provide the console-quality titles hosted online. According to the company, the new service will allow users to play games on the cloud gaming service and shift back to their downloaded mobile applications seamlessly without worrying about losing the progress.
