As expected, Facebook Home has just been released on Google Play for those lucky to own one of the three compatible smartphones.

Facebook Home comes pre-loaded on the HTC First Android smartphone, which is now available for purchase via AT&T.

However, those who own the HTC One, HTC One X, HTC One X+, Samsung Galaxy S III and Samsung Galaxy Note II devices can also download Facebook Home now. Keep in mind the application is also compatible with Samsung Galaxy S 4 when it goes on sale.

According to Facebook, the application requires Android users to install the latest version of Messenger and Facebook.

Facebook Home 1.0 is now available as a free download via Google Play Store and it should be fully compatible with select smartphones powered by Android 4.0 and up. Check it out here.

UPDATE: It appears that Facebook Home is only available to users in the US at launch. It will probably be rolled out in other countries in the following days.
