Google has announced plans to discontinue and refund users of its Stadia cloud gaming service.
When Stadia launched in November 2019, it was billed as a “Netflix for games,” allowing players to stream games online without owning a console. However, due to a lack of “traction” among gamers, the service will now be discontinued on January 18, 2023. Google has promised refunds to Stadia controller purchasers, as well as any games or add-on content. It expects those refunds to be completed by mid-January.
