LOS ANGELES: Epic Games said it will shut down Houseparty, the live video-chat app that the company bought two years ago – evidently concluding that the app is not financially sustainable.
Houseparty announced Thursday that it will discontinue the app in October. According to a blog post on its site, the team behind Houseparty is "working on creating new ways to have meaningful and authentic social interactions at metaverse scale across the Epic Games family."
Houseparty employees are expected to be redeployed to work on other projects within Epic.
