Phil Harrison Departs Google After Stadia Closure

Phil Harrison, former head of Google's game streaming service Stadia, has quietly left the company around the time of Stadia's official shutdown in January. Harrison joined Google in 2018 and championed Stadia as the "future of gaming," but the service failed to gain traction in a competitive gaming market. Harrison's departure from Google was confirmed by two employees familiar with the matter, and his LinkedIn profile has been updated to reflect his departure. It is currently unknown where Harrison will head next.
