There’s less than a week until Google shuts down Stadia’s servers, ending its failed cloud gaming platform. It’s true, and we’ve commented on it more than once, that there were many reasons why this was the case, but it would be unfair to deny that the service was great in terms of how it worked. In my personal experience, the gaming experience with Cyberpunk 2077 was just as smooth when I played it on PC as well as through GeForce Now. On the technical side, Google’s engineers have done a great job with Stadia, and I think it’s fair to acknowledge that.

Although service shutdowns are something that happens on a daily basis, in most cases it goes unnoticed because they are usually little or nothing known and therefore the impact of their shutdown is very, very localized, which it generally is. do not exceed. However, when we talk about products and services that have become more relevant, the significance is much greater because many more users are affected.

A few months ago we published some of the most high-profile shutdowns from both Microsoft and Google, and the next time we publish an entry of this type about a search engine company, Stadia will no doubt have to be on that list, as the anticipation before its launch, just over three years, in November 2019 , they aimed very high. And if we go back to those days, some will remember that a very popular advancement, the Worm Game, a simple game, but it was used to test the functioning of the service.

You may have seen the last game arrive at the Stadia today. It’s humbling 🧡 thanks 💜 for playing from our team.

The said game was present when the service arrived, and from then on it will do so at its farewell Google has added Worm Game for free to all Stadia accounts. It was the company itself announced it Through the Twitter account of the service and using the link we found in the said message, we can directly access the game (if we have a Stadia account, of course).

The game is quickly recognizable as an evolution of the legendary and very popular snake that brought so many good times to all Nokia mobile phone users two decades ago. So whether you’ve been a Stadia user and want to say goodbye to the service by using it, or if you’ve never done it and are somewhat curious about how it works, now is the time. Only five days left, but I’m sure you can make a worm stuffed with fruit. I can’t think of a better way to say goodbye to a gaming service than to use it to play, of course.
