The VKontakte social network will officially introduce a new gaming platform for HTML5 solutions next week, on June 14.

Information about this is contained in the program of the future White Nights conference, which will be held in St. Petersburg on June 14-15.

In 2008, VKontakte launched a social gaming platform. In 2014 — mobile. Recently we decided it was time to launch something new. Therefore, in 2017 we are pleased to introduce a platform for html5 games that run directly in VKontakte mobile clients. And we call it Direct Games.

As we wrote earlier, a distinctive feature of the platform is the support of micropayments. Its analogue – Instant Games on Facebook – still does not support monetization in any form.

The launch of the site is scheduled for this year.

Now the VKontakte mobile application has a game showcase that promotes native mobile applications that support VK login.
