Live gaming with friends is nothing new to game consoles and PC gaming, but the Bunch app aims to bring this live gaming experience to mobile platforms. Through the Bunch app, users can invite friends to a party, pick their favorite game, and launch into playing with just the tap of a button. In addition to offering a multiplayer mobile gaming experience, the app also bolsters this idea with live voice and video chat and can be used on popular mobile games such as Fortnite, Roblox, Minecraft, and HQ Trivia.
According to Selcuk Atli, co-founder and CEO for the Bunch app, "with the rise of live mobile games like Fortnite and Roblox, younger gamers are trading in the large screens of their PCs and consoles for smartphones." This is what the app aims to address as they allow mobile gamers the same mobile gaming opportunities as PC and console players.
