Stadia ordered to live a long time. Google has announced that it will close the service

The official reason is: “The service has not achieved the success we expected.”

The company claims that the decision to terminate Stadia is not an easy one for them.

Google promises to refund all users money for purchased devices, games and additional content.

Access to the Stadia game library will be closed on January 18, 2023. According to the company, this time is enough for everyone to finish the acquired titles.

At the same time, Google does not plan to abandon the technology behind Stadia. It is planned to implement it in other services of the company (for example, in YouTube and Google Play), as well as share it with partners.

Google also stated that it is not quitting gaming. They say he will continue to invest in new tools, technologies and platforms that help developers achieve success.
