The confirmation came from the official website of the company, in which we learn that the process is managed entirely by an automatic system.As promised in September, Google will fully refund the purchase of all Stadia hardware (Stadia controllers, Founder's Edition, Premiere Edition and "Play and watch with Google TV" packages) and digital content (games, DLC and in-game currency) via the Google Store.
The process has started now and it will be a gradual process. According to what is reported in the official FAQ, all users should receive refunds at the latest by January 18, 2023. Delays may occur if the original form of payment is no longer available and additional steps will be required to complete the refund process.
