If you play Stadia games, you may soon lose access to your saved titles and games. Due to the loss of Google Stadia, Google has decided to discontinue it. It was launched in October 2018.

Google is shutting down its cloud gaming service Google Stadia by January 18, 2023. Google has taken this decision after the customers did not show much enthusiasm. These services have not received a very good response from the users. Google hoped that it would be able to earn tremendously based on these services.

Let us tell you that Google Stadia was launched in a beta version in October 2018. By November 2019 it became available to all users. According to a report by The Verge, after this decision by Google, many publishers have decided to transfer their games to other platforms. Some platforms have also told users how they can play the game on another platform.

Refund process started

The report is claiming that Stadia is refunding Stadia hardware purchased through the Google Store and games along with add-on content purchased from the store. The report further suggested that the process of refunds has been started after this change and the company may settle most of the refunds by January 18, 2023.
