“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.” the statement reads.

The app was used as a one-stop for fans to follow their desired streamers and interact with the official gaming pages. Meta tried competing with big leagues like Twitch and YouTube, signing big-name content creators from Twitch and YouTube under multi-year deals.

The shutdown indicates that the company might be struggling to compete with the likes of Twitch. However, they reassured the users, saying otherwise. Meta’s current focus goes strictly on their VR projects and their interest in the metaverse.

Recently, the company was once again in the spotlight after they announced a price hike for Meta Quest 2 headsets.
