“We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of you for everything you’ve done to build a thriving community for gamers and fans since this app first launched,” the memo, signed by The Facebook Gaming team, stated. “This was a truly a community-led effort to bring new gaming features to Facebook.”
Users will still be able to connect with fellow gamers and watch streams from content creators in the Gaming tab within the general Facebook app, the notice added.
The same report said that hours watched on Facebook Gaming declined 51% compared to the same period last year. Twitch, meanwhile, saw just a 13.4% year-over-year drop in hours watched on the platform.
Facebook-parent Meta did not immediately respond to CNN Business’ request for further comment on the matter Tuesday.
