The ax fell last year: officially launched in November 2019 after several months of testing, Stadia was going to close its servers at the start of the year, for lack of success. It’s exactly at 8:59 a.m. French time this Thursday, January 19 that Google stopped his service cloud gaminglet’s face it, with a certain indifference.
To our players and partners, our team, community and fans: thank you, for everything.
As of 11:59pm PT today, we’re signing off from the cloud. Y’all be good to each other, and stay safe out there.

Stadia has never met the rapid and dazzling success hoped for Google, pained by connections that are not yet fast enough for streaming games with many players, the obligation to buy games from a store that can be used exclusively via Stadia, and prices that are rarely attractive. And whileAmazon and her Luna and Xbox and his Xbox Cloud Gamingor even NVIDIA and his GeForce NOW even Shadow in slightly different genres, want to keep pushing the cloud gaming, Google preferred to throw in the towel and refund the purchases of games and accessories for all of its customers.
Stadia, it’s overbut Google must still give us news of a software allowing to use the controller in Bluetooth on more platforms, a way of not making the accessory quickly obsolete in wired. But apart from that, the service therefore becomes a digital relic that belongs to the pastand which joins the long list of projects canceled by the computer giant. See you in a few years to share messages like: “You’re a veteran if you’ve known Google Stadia”.
