Spotify shuts down music guessing game Heardle.

Spotify is shutting down Heardle, the music guessing game it acquired last year, on May 5. The decision came as Spotify wants to focus on its other objectives around music discovery, including its recent app changes. The game had been popular at the time of its acquisition, but its future prospects may have been dimming. Spotify confirmed that there was no team dedicated to working on Heardle, so there will be no impact in terms of employee cuts or reorganization. The company will continue to invest in other gaming projects and interactive experiences.
