Rest In Peace Google Stadia Coming to an End in January

It'll be ending next year and apparently there will be a lot of refunds coming forth from the failed cloud gaming service that was brought forth into the world way back in... 2019.

A few years ago, we also launched a consumer gaming service, Stadia. And while Stadia's approach to streaming games for consumers was built on a strong technology foundation, it hasn't gained the traction with users that we expected so we’ve made the difficult decision to begin winding down our Stadia streaming service.

We’re grateful to the dedicated Stadia players that have been with us from the start. We will be refunding all Stadia hardware purchases made through the Google Store, and all game and add-on content purchases made through the Stadia store. Players will continue to have access to their games library and play through January 18, 2023 so they can complete final play sessions. We expect to have the majority of refunds completed by mid-January, 2023.

Great News! Instead of getting refunds for your Stadia purchases, Ubisoft has nobly offered to accept your Stadia game library and bring it onto Ubisoft's own computer game service Ubisoft Connect!
