Google says that it is cancelling all future first-party games to focus on the development of Google Stadia’s technology.
Google’s run in game development was short but sweet. The company announced that it plans to shut down its internal development studio and divert all resources to enticing third-party developers to launching games on Google Stadia. Google only began making its own games in the last two years, and now will close the doors on both its Los Angeles and Montreal game studios, parting ways with Jade Raymond (founder of Ubisoft Toronto and Motive Studios) as well. “Creating best-in-class games from the ground up takes many years and significant investment, and the cost is going up exponentially,” Google said in a new blog post explaining the decision.
