Epic Games is shutting down its video chat service, Houseparty, the company said Thursday.

Epic acquired the appback in 2019.

“As a result, we can’t give the app or our community the attention that it deserves.

The app itself will be removed from app stores immediately and shuttered in October.

That mode is set to vanish from Fortnite altogether once Houseparty is shut down in October.

Additional updates about the shutdown will come via in-app notification, its creators said.
