Report: Snap planning to launch gaming platform this fall

Snap Inc. is preparing to launch a platform this fall that will let developers create games that can be played on the Snapchat app, two sources tell The Information.

Why it matters: The company recently rolled out third-party developer tools that would allow developers to plug into the app's data, and vice versa. The move, which will help it compete with the likes of Facebook, will also help Snap build out new features, like games, to engage users.
