Rec Room is shutting down June 1st 2026

Rec Room has truly been a standout VR experience for many players, including myself. Since I started playing on March 13, 2022, I’ve delved into hundreds of unique rooms and met countless friends in this vibrant virtual world. One of my favorite memories is exploring creative custom rooms and joining social events that made the game feel like a second home. Despite the news of Rec Room's shutdown in 2026, the impact it has made on the VR community cannot be overstated. It’s a testament to how immersive and socially connected virtual reality can be. The ability to create and share content with friends adds a personal touch that many games lack. If you’re a Rec Room player, I encourage you to savor these remaining years by visiting new rooms, meeting new people, and capturing your memories. For newcomers, it’s a chance to experience one of the best VR social platforms before it ends. Remember, the friendships and creative moments made in Rec Room can inspire many other VR adventures in the future.
