\tMeta Platforms announced it will shutter its standalone Facebook Gaming app for iOS and Android from 28 October, more than two years after launch, although the company maintained it remained committed to the segment.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Meta said the app would no longer work after the date, but its \u201cmission to connect players, fans and creators with the games they love hasn\u2019t changed\u201d, and the games would be available on the Gaming tab on the core Facebook app.<\/p>\n

The web-based version of Facebook\u2019s game streaming platform will also remain online.<\/p>\n

Facebook\u2019s dedicated gaming play launched in 2018, as the social media giant sought to compete with rivals in the segment such as Twitch, YouTube and Microsoft\u2019s Mixer. It then rolled out a standalone app in 2020 [1], in response to increased demand generated from the Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, partnering up with Microsoft to absorb and integrate Mixer\u2019s games onto its platform.<\/p>\n

The company did not provide a reason why it was shutting down the standalone app, although it is not an uncommon move.<\/p>\n

In 2019, YouTube also removed its standalone gaming app, incorporating the service on its main app instead, stating two platforms caused confusion among users.<\/p>\n
