Google announced in August 2024 that it would stop making its Chromecast television dongle. Now, 9TO5GOOGLE announces that Google equipment is no longer available for purchase via the Google online store, marking the end of the product after more than 11 years.
Shalini Govil-Pai, the company's television manager, previously said that the reason for the closure was that competition had started to intensify among the slightly cheaper streaming devices.
Google has therefore chosen to replace Chromecast with its new Google TV Stream streaming solution, which contains more advanced equipment but also costs twice as much than the previous product.
The company previously said that 4K Chromecast and Chromecast HD devices will receive security updates until September 2025. Other models will be supported much longer.
