On January 18th, Google Stadia, the company’s cloud gaming service, will be turned off permanently. This decision was made by Google. Once the deadline has passed, you will no longer have access to any of the games you have saved on Stadia. A large number of game publishers have made it possible to transfer your purchases and game progress to other platforms, allowing you to continue enjoying your favorite games.
After nearly three years in operation, Google is pulling the plug on its Stadia gaming platform.
