Phil Harrison, Vice Manager and General Manager of Stadia, disclosed the stunning news on the Google product blog. Stadia will be discontinued by Google on January 18, 2023.

Stadia Will Be Closed At January 18 2023

Google closed Stadia Games and Entertainment earlier last year (SG&E). There were rumors circulating that the challenges of the pandemic and Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda contributed to the closing of SG&E. I have no idea what the exact reason for SG&E’s disbandment was, but they parted ways before delivering a first-party game exclusive to Stadia.

The number of rumors concerning the discontinuation of the Stadia service increases. Midway through this year, Stadia tweeted that they were not discontinuing their service. Additionally, they stated that they are continually striving to bring more outstanding titles to Stadia.

Yes, however it came out that the rumors were true a few months after the remark. Google will refund any Stadia hardware purchases made through the Google Store, as well as all game and other content purchases made through the Stadia store. The reimbursement procedure is anticipated to conclude by mid-January 2023. The Stadia will be accessible until January 18, 2023.

There may be Stadia users who feel as though they are wasting their time playing games due to the platform’s ability to save progress. Users can export their game save data via Google Takeout, for those unaware.
