One that won't be shut down, perhaps
Surprising no one, Google recently announced plans to shut down Stadia, its ambitious but underwhelming cloud gaming service. While it's a shame things didn't work out, the main concern users have had in the meantime is what will happen to their purchased games and save data. Fortunately, some developers are...
News Once Considered a PlayStation Competitor, Google Stadia Is Shutting Down
Sorry, Stadians
Back in 2019, Google officially announced its new game streaming platform, Stadia. At the time, the tech juggernaut framed Stadia as the future of gaming — a way to play all kinds of games on demand, without having to worry about your computer's specifications. It all sounded rather impressive — and it actually worked fairly...

Axed
Update: Google has told Games Radar that VGC’s report on cancelled Stadia projects, including a title by Hideo Kojima, is “inaccurate and reported hearsay as fact”. It added that it “[doesn't] have anything, nor has announced anything, with Kojima or Yu Suzuki”. Original Story:
News Google Stadia Buys Lost Words: Beyond the Page Exclusivity, PS4 Version Pushed Back a Year
God damnit
It was only last month that we featured Lost Words: Beyond the Page here on Push Square, and now we're not going to be able to play it on PlayStation 4 until at least March 2021.

News Google Stadia Terrified Sony Before Streaming Service's Tepid Launch
Impact was overstated
It looks like streaming could be a part of the future of video games, and with Google showing its hand with the recent Stadia launch, the moment we leave behind downloads could be closer than ever. That is if Google Stadia had been a success upon its release last month. Disappointing sales and alarmingly low player numbers have...
News PS Now Competitor Google Stadia Nearly Doubles Its Launch Line-Up of Old Games
Final Fantasy XV! Farming Simulator 2019!
Last week, Google announced that its Stadia streaming service would launch tomorrow with just 12 old games -- all but one of which you've already played. It was a rather dire line-up, but overnight the company has gone and nearly doubled the number of titles you'll be able to purchase on launch day. Now...
News GRID's 40-Car Mode Apparently Not Possible on PS4, But Launching on Google Stadia
Or so they say
Remember GRID? The racer released on PlayStation 4 last month to somewhat decent reviews, but it has seemingly already been all but forgotten about.

News Google Stadia's Weak Launch Lineup Won't Have PS Now Sweating Yet
Just 12 games day one
PlayStation Now is getting its first proper competitor in the form of Google Stadia next week, but the service’s launch lineup leaves a lot to be desired.

News Google Stadia Brings PS Now's First Real Competitor on 19th November
The streaming wars start now
PlayStation Now may have been discarded from the conversation, but it’s still the only game streaming service currently on the market.

News European Survey Finds Vast Majority of Gamers Not Interested in Streaming Services
70 per cent don't want to stream their games
The reaction to services like Google Stadia has generally been one of apathy -- well, among our regular readers, at least. It seems most people just aren't ready to stream games, Netflix style. Whether that's down to concerns about connection speeds, the cost of entry, or simply the desire to outright own...
Reaction Sony Won't Be Scared of Google Stadia in the Slightest
A wet fart
The punchline of today’s Stadia Connect stream is that Google tried to sell us on its vision of a game streaming future with a pre-recorded YouTube broadcast that had more macroblocking than a Minecraft map. The broadcast – fronted by former PlayStation executive Phil Harrison in a shirt and sneakers – failed to cash in on

News Google Stadia Attempts to Beat the E3 Hype with Dedicated Stream This Week
Another PlayStation competitor enters the fray
Remember Google Stadia? That's a genuine question, by the way -- we'd almost completely forgotten about it until we saw this announcement.

News Google's Stadia Controller Has an Awful Lot In Common with the PS4's DualShock 4
The sincerest form of flattery
You know that the DualShock 4 must be a pretty good controller when a company like Google is copying it. Much like the PlayStation 4's primary peripheral, Google's official Stadia controller has symmetrical analogue sticks, a central home button, and, of course, a share button. Oh, sorry, we mean a capture button...
News PlayStation Could Have Fresh Competition in Stadia, Google's New Game Streaming Platform
