Of course at that age, I got the game to play with my irl friends, and play the paintball game. I never would have thought where this game would be another life. I’ve lied about my age, had multiple vr girlfriends, and spent pretty much my whole middle school in this game. When I heard the news that it was shutting down, I wasn’t mad or sad, but almost confused as to what I was going to do on the vr. I’ll never get on vr chat, as you all know why… but seriously, all love to this game. ### 5/5 — Nothing *2026-05-31, version 2026032301* I am sad cause it shutting down and yea I had alots of memories playing it with my cousins and friends I really loved this game and I used to play but not anymore so bye helloooooo nibrrrrrrrrrrr helloooo nibrrrrr ### 5/5 — Peak game *2026-05-31, version 2026032301* I feels weird not being able to play rec room and feel like no game can ever be compared to the game of rec room ### 5/5 — We will love you *2026-05-31, version 2026032301* I will always miss getting home from school getting on the vr and playing rec room with my friends.

I have ADORED this game and played it since I was 4-6 years old, This game was a legendary game indeed. I used to play it everyday and I met SO many ppl online and it was a good experience.Tbh, I hope that millions of players remember this game… I’m still healing from the shock that I got when I found out it was shutting down, because it was April fools day, I thought it was a HUGE prank… I was wrong. But there are many other games out there! And none of them are as good as rec room… I love u rec room and I will miss u, good bye… ### 5/5 — My childhood *2026-05-31, version 2026032301* Can’t believe this app is shutting down I had this since I was 4 playing with my cousins and making memories now it’s shutting down?

There was always something happening, whether it was random people messing around and making each other laugh, someone getting way too competitive over a simple game, or just those quieter moments where you’d end up talking to people you didn’t even know but somehow felt completely comfortable around. It never felt forced either, everything just kind of happened naturally, like you were stepping into a space where anything could happen and usually did. Some days were chaotic and loud in the best way, full of energy and nonstop interaction, and other days were slower and almost peaceful, where you’d just hang out and talk without really doing much at all, but somehow those moments stuck with you just as much. I think what really made it special was how easy it was to feel like you were part of something, even if it was temporary. You could meet someone, spend hours playing or talking, and then never see them again, but still remember that moment like it actually mattered. There was something oddly genuine about it, like people weren’t trying to be perfect or impress anyone, they were just there, being themselves, and that made everything feel more real in a way that’s hard to explain. It’s weird looking back on it now, because the game itself is still there, it didn’t just disappear, but that feeling isn’t as easy to find anymore. Maybe it’s because people grew up and moved on, or maybe it’s just one of those things where once a certain time in your life passes, you can’t really go back and experience it the same way again. And even though you can still log in and try to relive it, it never quite hits the same, like you’re chasing something that only really existed in that moment, and now it’s just a memory that feels a little further away every time you think about it, even if a small part of you still hopes you’ll randomly stumble ### 5/5 — Pourquoi tout arrêter demain… *2026-05-31* Je me souviens quand j’étais plus petit j’adorais ce jeux, je le trouvais incroyable et aujourd’hui j’ai appris que les serveurs du jeux fermeraient demain… Ça me brise le cœur donc j’ai voulu y jouer une dernière fois malheureusement je ne retrouve plus mon compte et la création de compte est devenu impossible… je trouve ça dommage car le jeux a une bonne communauté et des gens super sympa. Alors je voulais remercier l’équipe de rec room de nous avoir laisser la possibilité de jouer à un jeu incroyable… merci infiniment pour ces quelques souvenirs.. ### 5/5 — I’m gonna miss it!! *2026-05-31* I first got rec room in 2021, and I’m pretty sure I wasn’t allowed to get it, and just downloaded it cos I felt like it. I used to chat to other people who did song requests, and dance along with them :) In around November, I met up with my cousins and we had a blast on this. We used to talk to others and sometimes got into arguments with them, and at one point made friends! While my time didn’t last long because my parents weren’t okay with me chatting to strangers, I think it was a nice way to interact with others across the world without being scared! I haven’t played it in a while now, but it’s probably too late since tomorrow at 12:00pm rec room will be shutting down. I love this game and always will, and I will love the memories I made, the games I played, the people I made friends with and most definitely the devs for being able to think of such an incredible game like this. I LOVE YOU REC ROOM, THNX FOR ALL THE MEMORIES ❤️❤️❤️🥹🥹🥹 ### 5/5 — Remember why *2026-05-31* Where do I start? I’ve been playing rec room for six years and I’ve went through a lot. The times has changed my mental physical and emotionally things like this game can change you to when you’re playing this game. You are not expecting a lot from it. There is society, talking different people, having relationships, and having more continuing conversations with other different people on the world recommend something special that I thought I could enjoy and it is and I joined all my six years and I’ve retired from rec room, but there’s still a lot of things going on cussing, harassment, arguments, and different stuff understand that people go through things and people do a lot of things, but make sure you don’t do it online and things stressing on rec room for my experience. I’ve went through a lot on rec room and bad but the things I’m proud of that man it made me today. The hardships I went to rec room was life learning experience to teach me better in life.

What is the real world and what is the virtual world because if you get those two Mixed up your life is going to get mixed up so when you play this game enjoy it have fun there’s a whole whole whole lotta things you can do whole unexpected things and I’m proud to say I played rec room and I would love to say thank you to the creators who made this game ### 5/5 — Goodbye *2026-05-31, version 2026032301* Goodbye rec room it was a perfect and wonderful game why did it have to end goodbye I guess ### 5/5 — Don’t shut down please!! *2026-05-31, version 2026032301* This game is so good!
