Rec Room said in a March 30, 2026 blog post that it will shut down the platform at noon Pacific on June 1. GeekWire notes that the social gaming company once carried a 3.5 billion dollar valuation, but even with more than 150 million players over its lifetime, it could not turn that scale into a sustainable business.
This r/Games story traces back to Rec Room’s official March 30, 2026 shutdown post. The company set June 1st 2026 at noon Pacific time as the end date and laid out the schedule for RR+, tokens, creator payouts, data exports, and refunds.
