Reset Stadia service

Jump to Best Response

Hello,

 

First, I'm sorry, I'm French and my english language isn't perfect.

 

I have a Google account but no Gmail service. So my Google account is identified with an other email provider : Yahoo. My Stadia service is linked with my Google account and so the Yahoo email attached.

 

I know that it is impossible to change the email linked to Stadia although paradoxically I can change the email that identifies my Google account. Besides that's strange because others services (Google Pay, Youtube...) follow all changes of the general account : when you change your email, it propagates everywhere....... except Stadia apparently. I'm convinced that Stadia will be one of the biggest (may be the biggest) video game streaming service in the future, but it's regrettable to have default so basic (just change an email address seems obvious averywhere)

 

I must change my Yahoo email for Outlook email because I have often connexion problems with Yahoo, and Outlook is more convenient with his alias system.

 

If I delete my Stadia account, and don't recover it after 30 days, it will deleted permanently : I'll lost username, games... But it seems that it is possible to recreate a new Stadia account with the same Google account after these 30 days. All will be new : username, history...... and email linked. Am I wrong ?

 

Thanks for your help.

I would assume yes, you would be able to create a new account under the same Google account with a new email attached but since this is an account specific question you might get a more accurate response by getting in touch with Stadia support and inquiring with them directly.

Thanks.

 

So I have discuted with the chat support. The person confirmed that after 30 days all will be reset and we can re-create a new Stadia account with the new email address linked.

 

I will test, but it's unfortunate that we must doing that procedure in order to change an email address.

 

Thanks again.

I have tested. No need to delete your Stadia service to recreate it after 30 days.

 

You can't change the Google account linked to Stadia.

 

BUT, with your Google account, if the email address of your Google account is not Gmail, you can change this email address. The new address will propagate to all Google services of the account (Youtube, Google Pay, Play Store... including Stadia).

 

The rule/condition that say that the email address can't be changed is true only if it's a Gmail address. A Gmail address can't be changed easily : the Gmail service can be deleted permanently and thus you'll can add an outside email provider (like Outlook, Yahoo...) that you can change and change when you want. But once you delete the Gmail address, you won't be able to create a new Gmail address in the same Google account (the email address linked to the account will be from another provider).
