I am OOTL, is Stadia growing?

  There's no official numbers, but probably - it has gotten lots of new releases, including heavy hitters like Ubisoft and EA's catalogues, including their latest games. Coupled with the unavailability of some latest gen consoles ( PS5), the slow arrival and subpar experience on some competing cloud gaming platforms (Xcloud), it would make sense. On the other hand, Google's recent changes for better revenue sharing imply that things aren't going that great / great enough. In any case, Stadia is by far the best in terms of UX and lag among the competitors I've tried ( GeForce Now and Xcloud). If it weren't for Google's terrible reputation for abandoning stuff ( even if it isn't directly applicable here because Google rarely, if ever, kill paid services) they'd be doing much better IMHO.

  Maybe, but probably not as fast as Google was aiming for. There don’t seem to be any direct numbers from Google, but some sources have reported that they missed active user targets by “hundreds of thousands”. https://www.extremetech.com/gaming/320366-report-stadia-missed-active-user-targets-by-hundreds-of-thousands https://www.extremetech.com/gaming/320366-report-stadia-miss...
