It is beginning to process refunds for hardware purchased on the store. The cloud gaming service was added to the long list of buried projects.

Purchases for the Stadia controller and bundles that included the Chromecast Ultra will be returned. It started reimbursing users for game purchases earlier this month. Stadia Pro and Stadia hardware purchased from Best Buy won't be getting a refund.

The refunds will be processed automatically, according to the company. Most of them are expected to be completed by the time the cloud gaming service shuts down. If the company can't automatically refunds your original form of payment, it will email you through the account you used.

The shutdown wasn't shocking despite the disappointment of the small but devoted band of enthusiasts. The company scaled back its investment in the platform barely over a year after it launched.
