Yesterday, Google sent a shockwave through the gaming world by announcing the Google Stadia shutdown. The cloud gaming company — which is only three years old — will terminate its service on January 18, 2023.
Apparently, Google made this decision very quickly. Industry reports suggest Google didn’t alert Stadia employees until minutes before the public announcement. To make matters worse, we’ve heard tell that Google didn’t at all notify third-party developers working on future Stadia titles. Those folks found out at the same time we all did.
