With the announcement of the Nest Wifi Pro today, it seems the Google Store didn’t take the time to remove all of the references to Stadia.<\/p>\n

Back in 2019, when Google debuted the Nest Wifi system, it did so more or less side-by-side with the launch of Stadia, the company’s soon-closing game streaming service. To showcase the advantages of Google’s ecosystem, Nest Wifi included a special, optional feature that automatically prioritized any Stadia-related traffic, reducing lag and improving stream quality.<\/p>\n

Fast forward three years to present day, Stadia is now set to close down in mid January and Google is launching a new generation of mesh Wi-Fi hardware with the Nest Wifi Pro. It seems the company prepared the Google Store listing and marketing assets sometime before it was decided that Stadia would be shutting down.<\/p>\n

Where Google’s own blog post is careful to say that Nest Wifi Pro is able to optimize your network for \u201cstreaming,\u201d Zachary Wander on Twitter<\/a> spotted a direct mention of Stadia on the new router’s \u201cTech specs\u201d page, under \u201cAutomatic Wi-Fi optimization.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, official imagery of the Nest Wifi Pro \u2014 one visible on the \u201cOverview\u201d page, the other on the \u201cHow it works\u201d page \u2014 includes a shot of two people prominently holding Stadia Controllers, while another shows a father and son playing a Stadia game together.<\/p>\n

These inclusions seem to indicate that the decision to shut down Stadia was made sometime after Google’s marketing team prepared for the Nest Wifi Pro launch, between imagery and official feature descriptions.<\/p>\n

To a certain extent, the inclusion isn’t necessarily incorrect, as the Nest Wifi Pro should be the best possible router for Google Stadia right up until that January shutdown. But for the fans who are still mourning the service’s upcoming demise, these pictures serve as a reminder of the future that could have been. In all likelihood, the images will be removed in the very near future.<\/p>\n
