Kim Kardashian has made the decision to close down one of her ventures approximately ten years after its launch. The popular reality TV personality has officially shut down her mobile game, known as Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, which was developed in collaboration with Glu Mobile in 2014. The game has been removed from app stores and will no longer support any in-app purchases. Kardashian expressed her desire to redirect her energy towards other passions as the reason behind this move. The news was announced via a statement released to TMZ on Wednesday.

Kim Kardashian, a renowned reality TV star, has recently made the decision to close down one of her ventures that she had started almost ten years ago. The business in question is her mobile game titled “Kim Kardashian: Hollywood,” which she collaborated on with Glu Mobile and launched back in 2014.
The app has been completely removed from the app stores and will not be allowing any purchases within the app anymore. The reason behind this decision is that she wants to channel her efforts and enthusiasm into other areas that spark her interests.
Kim Kardashian expressed her deep gratitude to everyone who has shown love and support for Kim Kardashian: Hollywood over the past decade. She acknowledged that this journey has been incredibly meaningful to her, but she has come to a realization that it’s time to redirect her energy towards other passions. Kardashian extended her thanks to the Glu team and the many individuals behind the scenes who worked tirelessly to make the game a success. She emphasized that the community they built together will continue to inspire her.
Back in 2014, Kardashian collaborated with Glu Mobile in the release of the video game, with the intention of allowing players to experience the path towards fame and achieving A-list status, just like Kardashian herself. The game enables users to imitate Kardashian’s footsteps, gaining fans through acting, modeling, club appearances, and even dating. The inclusion of a currency called K-stars facilitated players’ progress in the game. Despite receiving mixed reviews, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood generated a staggering $1.6 million within its first five days after its release on June 27th that year.
Even though she will no longer be involved with the mobile game, Kardashian will remain fully occupied with managing her clothing line, SKIMS, and her skincare brand, SKKN.
A notification was sent out within the game to all users who had already installed the app, notifying them of its impending closure on April 8. The countdown has begun, gradually diminishing the remaining days of the game’s existence.
In 2014, the businessperson collaborated with Glu Mobile to launch a video game that aimed to boost their fame and recognition until reaching the coveted A-list position.
Despite not having the mobile game, she will continue to stay occupied managing her clothing brand SKIMS and her skincare brand SKKN.
Towards the end of 2022, she took a bold step and introduced her very own private equity firm, SKKY. Alongside her entrepreneurial endeavors, this affluent tycoon graces the screen in her family’s captivating reality TV show on Hulu, and has delved into the world of acting as well.
In addition to her various business ventures and personal interests, she is also a doting mother to four children that she co-parents with her former spouse, renowned rapper Kanye West, aged 46. This talented duo, who were officially married from 2014 until 2022, proudly raise their beautiful offspring named North, aged 10, Saint, aged eight, Chicago, who is about to turn six, and their youngest bundle of joy, Psalm, aged four.
During the latter part of 2022, she took a significant step by establishing her very own private equity firm called SKKY. Apart from her successful businesses, this billionaire entrepreneur has also made a name for herself in the world of reality TV. She is a prominent fixture in her family’s Hulu series and has even tried her hand at acting. In fact, she recently made her acting debut in the FX show American Horror Story: Delicate, and she is all set to embark on a new adventure in her own provocative drama series, created by the talented Ryan Murphy, who is known for his work on AHS.
However, her interests and endeavors go far beyond the glitz and glamour of showbiz. This media personality has been actively involved in criminal reform efforts and has been working towards achieving her law degree since 2019. In fact, she even expressed her dream of one day establishing a successful law firm, inspired by her late father, Robert Kardashian. Her dedication to her career and passions is remarkable, especially when considering she is also a devoted mother of four children. Together with her former husband, the renowned rapper Kanye West, she shares the joys and challenges of raising their four precious children, North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
