Stadia may be shutting down next year, but if you've purchased
Ubisoft titles on the cloud gaming platform, you'll be able to
transfer those purchases to PC at some point in the future, Ubisoft
confirmed to The Verge.

"While Stadia will shut down on January 18th, 2023, we're happy to
share that we're currently working to bring the games you own on
Stadia to PC through Ubisoft Connect," Ubisoft senior corporate
communications manager Jessica Roache said in a statement. "We'll
have more to share regarding specific details as well as the impact
for Ubisoft+ subscribers at a later date."

This means that players who may have invested in Ubisoft's games on
Stadia will be able to play them again on their PC down the line.
That said, some people may have bought a game on Stadia because they
could play without a souped-up PC, so you may have to upgrade your PC
hardware to play it once you transfer it over. It's unclear at this
time if you'll be able to bring over your saves and progress.

Google has already shut down commerce on the Stadia Store, so you
won't be able to buy an Ubisoft game now so you can redeem it on PC
later. However, Google is going to refund all software purchased on
the Stadia Store, so if you previously bought Ubisoft games on
Stadia, you'll be getting your money back.

Ubisoft will continue to invest in cloud gaming, despite Stadia's
discontinuation. "We believe in the power of streaming and cloud
gaming and will continue to push the boundaries on bringing amazing
experiences to our players, wherever they are," Roache said.
