Google announced its cloud game streaming service, Google Stadia back in early 2019. Over the past year, since its public launch on April 8, the company has added various promised features and hundreds of games for users to enjoy on the platform. Google even set up an in-house Stadia studio to develop and produce games for the streaming platform. However, the company surprisingly shut down its Stadia studio on February 1, citing the exponential cost of developing best-in-class games.
“Given our focus on building on the proven technology of Stadia as well as deepening our business partnerships, we’ve decided that we will not be investing further in bringing exclusive content from our internal development team SG&E, beyond any near-term planned games,” he further added.
