Spotify to Shut Down Music Guessing Game 'Heardle'

Spotify is shutting down Heardle, the song-guessing game it acquired last summer, on May 5th. The game was seen as a music discovery tool, but its popularity had already tapered off before the acquisition. Some players were frustrated with the game's repetitive song choices, and Spotify reportedly didn't have a dedicated team working on Heardle. The closure won't result in any layoffs, and players are advised to take a screenshot of their stats before May 4th.

The game, which was inspired by Wordle, allowed users to guess the name of a song as they listened to progressively longer snippets of the track. Spotify says it made the decision to shut down Heardle after careful consideration as it focuses on other features for music discovery. Users have until May 4th to screenshot their stats if they want to keep them as a memory of the short-lived game.

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.
