Google to close Stadia cloud service and refund gamers
Google has announced plans to shut down its Stadia cloud gaming service and refund Players .
When it launched in November 2019, allowing Players to Stream Games online without owning a console.
But The Service will now come to an end on 18 January 2023 because of a lack of " traction" with gamers.
Google has promised refunds to Players who purchased its Stadia controller, as well as any games or add-on content.
It said it estimates those refunds will be completed by mid-January.

What works for Xbox and PlayStation is difficult to replicate When their customers have already shelled Out on consoles and subscriptions - and the firms behind them, Microsoft and Sony, have lucrative deals in place with The World 's biggest games publishers.
It's perhaps no huge surprise that Phil Harrison said Stadia hadn't " gained the traction" that Google anticipated - marketing speak for " not enough bums on seats".
