Besides being a convenient chat app, Snapchat used to be known for its games. But users have noticed that they can’t find the games anymore, making them wonder if the app still offers them.

Snapchat is one of the most popular social media platforms, used by millions of people every day who send pictures, videos, and other media via the app.

You could play a series of minigames such as Aquapark in the app, which would allow you to compete with your friends.

The games feature provided entertainment for many, but in February 2023, users noticed that the feature was no longer available, leading them to wonder whether it had been removed entirely.

Here’s everything you need to know about whether you can still play games on Snapchat.

Are Snapchat games gone?

Yes, Snapchat has removed the games feature on the app. In reply to a tweet on February 7, 2023, the company confirmed: “Games and Minis are no longer available. We’ll be bringing more focus to other Snapchat products and features that will be beneficial to creators and content viewers.”

Going to the ‘Games on Snapchat’ page on their website now leads to a message that reads, “Important: Games are no longer available.”

The removal of the games feature seems to have come as a disappointment to the people who frequently used the feature, but whether it will be making a comeback at any point remains to be seen.
