Approved Partner Program Applications for Instant Games Open to All Developers

The application process for the previously announced Facebook Instant Games Approved Partner Program is now open to all developers. As part of our continued efforts to enhance platform integrity, only Approved Partners may submit games to the Instant Games platform moving forward. After June 9th, 2021 only Approved Partners will have titles on the platform. As a second step, all new games must be submitted for a quality review after you are an Approved Partner. All games that are currently live will be automatically enqueued for review. For more information, read the blog post.
