ByteDance, the parent company behind TikTok, already has several services under them, covering various industries. Most recently, it was reported that ByteDance wants to launch a video game distribution platform like Steam, globally.
This service is currently known as GameTop, and is expected to make it easier to discover interesting games through it. In addition to making it easier to discover new games, it is also expected to be a platform for distributing and publishing games under ByteDance.
ByteDance's participation with strong financial support, as well as advantages in marketing, is expected to provide healthier competition to Steam, compared to Epic Games' offerings.
For now, ByteDance has not issued any comments related to it. Perhaps we will hear more and learn about ByteDance's plans in the gaming arena when this platform is available.
