Introduced in 2019, Google’s cloud gaming service Stadia emerged as a formidable competitor to existing platforms such as Nvidia GeForce Now and Amazon Luna. However, with Google’s recent announcement of Stadia’s impending shutdown on January 18 next year, uncertainty loomed over the fate of users’ game libraries on the platform.

In a recent report from The Verge, Ubisoft, the gaming studio, clarified that individuals who had bought a Ubisoft game on Google Stadia would have the option to transfer the title to their PC. Although a specific timeline for the availability of this feature has not been disclosed, users can anticipate the opportunity to preserve their Stadia games before January 2023.

Ubisoft, known for titles like Rainbow Six Siege, Watch Dogs, Rayman Legends, Uno, Riders Republic, Far Cry 5, and Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint on the Stadia platform, revealed during the Ubisoft Forward livestream event that it had intentions to bring games such as Skull and Bones, Valiant Hearts: The Great War, and Far Cry 4 to Google’s cloud gaming service.

For Stadia users who prefer not to transfer their games to PC, reassurance comes in the form of the option to request a refund from Google. Alternatively, users can choose to transfer their games from Stadia to their Ubisoft accounts and enjoy them on other cloud gaming services like Nvidia GeForce Now and Amazon Luna. Beyond game purchases and pre-orders, Google is also extending refunds for hardware acquired through its store.
