Short answer: Facebook Gameroom is gone. Meta retired the Gameroom PC app on 30 June 2021, and its download page on facebook.com now shows “Not Found”. You don’t need it anymore: Facebook games play right inside Facebook, in a web browser or in the Facebook app.
Checked against Facebook’s Help Center and Meta’s own Gameroom notice, 14 November 2026.
What happened to Facebook Gameroom?
Gameroom was a Windows app for playing Facebook games outside the browser. In spring 2021, Meta’s Gameroom page told players: “Gameroom will no longer be available after June 30.” By August 2021 the same page read: “Gameroom Has Retired. Gameroom is no longer available.” (archived copy of Meta’s page)
Today that page returns “Not Found”. Meta no longer offers a Gameroom installer, so skip any “Gameroom download” you see on other sites.
