It’s Snake
Google Stadia willclose its doors on January 18th. As a parting gift, Google have released the game they built to test the streaming service before the streaming service launched. “Worm Game” is a version of Snake with plenty of levels and modes to try and, of course, it’s playable within your browser.
The Stadia team referred to the release as a “humble thanks” to players of the service:
You might have seen one last game arrive on Stadia today. It’s a humble 🧡 thanks 💜 for playing from our team.Find it here:https://t.co/PyAUH181v1
Google’s other efforts to wrap up Stadia are already underway, including hardware and software refunds for anyone who spent money on Stadia during its lifetime. Most of these refunds are expected to be complete by January 18th. They alsotweetedthat they’re releasing a “self-serve tool to enable Bluetooth connections on your Stadia Controller.”
While Stadia is closing down for players, Google have said that its streaming technology may live on by being made “available to our industry partners.” That would place it alongside several other game streaming services that have turned into middleware, including Gaikai and OnLive.
