Cheddar reports that Snap may be launching a new gaming platform for Snapchat as early as next month at the company’s Snap Partner Summit in Los Angeles on April 4th. Then The Information reported last Summer that Snap was working on a gaming program. And CNET reported that Snap also bought an Australian game studio named Prettygreat back in January.

Plus, there’s the simple matter of monopolizing people’s attention: users who play games in the Snapchat app aren’t browsing Instagram.
Snap has declined to comment on the Cheddar report, but if the Snapchat gaming platform is real, we’ll all find out more on April 4th.
