And those people are who this service is for. Gameroom might seem foreign to you and me, but for a vast swath of the folks playing games on Facebook, it's the other way around with GOG, Origin and Steam.

It's kludgy and there really isn't anything worth playing on it. First-person shooter Critical Ops, on the other hand, downloaded 100MB worth of files before it would start.Ĭurrently, Gameroom feels like something that's been gathering dust for awhile.

There are a few more details now, and from the sounds of it, Facebook Gameroom is basically Steam from 2009, but for Facebook games - both web and those natively built for the ecosystem. These are the steps needed to clear Facebook Gameroom Cache. Critical Ops by Critical Force Oy earned 100k in estimated monthly revenue and was downloaded 100k times in June 2022.
Back in August Facebook announced its PC gaming platform as a partnership with the Unity developer toolset.
