It would be safe to say that Google Stadia, which is a fairly new gaming streaming service, couldn’t gain as much popularity as the likes of Xbox Cloud Gaming. This had erupted a few rumors that Google will end up shutting the service down and this has now become true, as per a recent announcement.
Google Stadia’s Vice President, Phil Harrison has announced that Stadia will cease to exist in January 2023 and users will have until January 18 to use the service. It will also provide refunds for the Stadia hardware (Stadia Controller, Founders Edition, Premiere Edition, and Play and Watch with Google TV packages) bought via the Google Store.

Although, it was just recently when Google shunned rumors regarding it killing Stadia and now three months later, the course has changed! Last year, the tech giant shut down its Stadia Game Development Studio.
