Facebook, the biggest social platform in the world, has introduced a new way for players to discover and engage with social games, creating a unified list for social titles in the news feed of each user.

The new mechanic combines updates from the titles that a player uses on a regular basis and avoids spamming of the timeline and other profile areas.

Matt Wyndowe, who is a director of business development at Facebook, stated, “These stories are designed to bring new users and significant re-engagement to games by encouraging users to discover games their friends are playing. We will continue to refine the design of these stories based on performance.”

Since gaming has become a big hit on Facebook, gamers have complained that the development teams use a lot of spam and unwanted messages in order to promote their products.

There are also options to put games, achievements and other game related updates on their Timeline.
