Stadia to shut down on January 18, 2023; all purchases to be refunded

Google will shut down Stadia on January 18, 2023, the company announced. All hardware purchases made through Google Store, and all game and add-on content purchases made through Stadia will be refunded by mid-January 2023.

“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,” Stadia vice president and general manager Phil Harrison said in a blog post.
