Meta has announced that it is shutting down the Facebook Gaming app after just two years of service. The app will no longer work as of October 28, 2022.
Twitch Streamer King Gothalion shared the screenshot of the message from the platform in a tweet. The announcement reads, “ Beginning on 28 October 2022, the Facebook Gaming app for iOS and Android will no longer be available.”
The team also sent their appreciation to the community and fans that helped make the platform thrive and grow. “This was truly a community-led effort to bring new gaming features to Facebook,” the team said in the announcement.
Facebook Gaming in itself isn’t being closed, it is just the app itself. The team clarifies in closing the message, “Despite this news, our mission to connect players, fans, and creators with the games they love hasn’t changed, and you’ll still be able to find your games, streamers, and groups when you visit Gaming in the Facebook app.”
Ram found his love and appreciation for writing in 2015 having started in the gaming and esports sphere for GG Network. He would then transition to focus more on the world of tech which has also began his journey into learning more about this world. That said though, he still has the mentality of "as long as it works" for his personal gadgets.
