Stadia: Google denies imminent discontinuation

Does Google Stadia still have a future? Yes, says Google. At the very least, the company denies current rumors that they are planning a hiring.

Previously it was claimed Stadia could be shut down by the end of the summer. The claim came from a Facebook group, and the information was allegedly from a Google employee. The well-known Twitter account “Killed by Google” picked this up again.

The company denies

In response to a Twitter user’s enquiry, the official Stadia account wrote: “Stadia will not be shut down. Rest assured that we are always working to bring more great games to the platform and Stadia Pro. Let us know if you do have more questions.”

Given that Stadia releases are still planned beyond the summer, the information didn’t seem entirely solid either.

On September 30, 2022, FIFA 23 should be released for Google Stadia.

Last but not least, the company parodies the original rumor with another tweet, which basically goes something along the lines of “my uncle works at XYZ”.

In short: No, Google Stadia will not be scrapped at the end of the summer.
