The Facebook Gaming app on iOS and Android devices will be shutting down on October 28. However, that doesn’t mean the Facebook Gaming feature is going offline. It will still be available for users, but now only in the Facebook app’s Gaming section.
Facebook Gaming tried to become a Twitch rival–to debatable success–and similarly heavily focused on hosting streamers who played games. The app first launched in 2020 and was also a way to play Facebook games like Words with Friends.
“We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of you for everything that you’ve done to build a thriving community for gamers and fans since this app was first launched,” Facebook said in the announcement. “This was truly a community-led effort to bring new gaming features to Facebook.”
