SAN FRANCISCO: Google on Sept 29 said it is shutting down Stadia, the cloud video game service it launched three years ago to let people access console-quality play as easily as they do email.

“It hasn’t gained the traction with users that we expected so we’ve made the difficult decision to begin winding down our Stadia streaming service,” Google vice president Phil Harrison said in a blog post.
