Of course, there’s a Porg-related game on Facebook

With Star Wars: The Last Jedi mania in full swing, we aren’t surprised with the amount of merch and tie-ins the movie has. One of the new ones is a Facebook game called Porg Invasion. Porgs are the adorable yet divisive puffin-like creatures from the planet Ahch-To, where Luke Skywalker exiled himself. The Facebook mini-game, which you can play within Facebook Messenger on mobile or on the News Feed on desktop, has you playing inside the Millennium Falcon with Chewbacca and BB-8 trying to stave off a porg onslaught on the iconic space craft. If you want to try it out, you can access it through Facebook Instant Games.

Facebook brings Instant Games to everyone

Facebook just announced its Messenger-bound games will now be coming to all its users around the world. Instant Games brings no-download games you can play right from your Messenger app and include turn-based games that you can play with your friends. It was first launched in the US last year with titles like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Galaga.

Facebook plans to update this library consistently. “Depending on what device you use and where you are located, there are now up to 50 games titles available on Messenger, with more being introduced almost every week.” This launch brings with it new leaderboards and tournament play modes. The new games are expected to roll out in the coming weeks for both iOS and Android apps.
