Reuters<\/em> reports<\/a> TikTok is testing games for the app in Vietnam ahead of a \u201cmajor push\u201d into the space. A company representative confirmed tests of HTML5 mini-games, saying, \u201cWe\u2019re always looking at ways to enrich our platform and regularly test new features and integrations that bring value to our community.\u201d <\/p>\n

The outlet\u2019s sources indicate the plan is for ad-supported games that draw from the library of its parent company, ByteDance, which could boost revenue and increase the amount of time people spend on the TikTok app \u2014 if that\u2019s even possible. <\/p>\n

TikTok has already tried at least one in-app mini-game, as it teamed up with Feeding America to make Garden of Good<\/em><\/a>, a FarmVille<\/em>-like experience where players could earn points and use them to make a donation. It also announced a partnership with FarmVille<\/em> developer Zynga late last year to make Disco Loco 3D<\/em><\/a>, an HTML5-based endless runner that could work inside the app, but new reports suggest that\u2019s just the start for TikTok\u2019s gaming ambitions. <\/p>\n
