Google bids farewell to Chromecast as they discontinue production following the launch of Google TV Streamer, with original products selling out quickly.

Ready to unveil the Google TV Streamer, Google has officially announced the discontinuation of the Chromecast product line. The existing products will continue to be sold until stock runs out. Chromecast made its debut in 2013, followed by updates with Gen 2 in 2015, Gen 3 in 2018, and a rebrand as Chromecast with Google TV (4K) in 2020. In 2022, they introduced Chromecast with Google TV (HD) at a lower price point.

The arrival of the Google TV Streamer as a new brand device marks the end of the Chromecast era after a successful 11-year run. One interesting aspect is that the Google TV Streamer is priced at $100, while the Chromecast HD is sold at $30. This raises the question of whether Google will fill this gap with a more affordable Google TV Streamer product or if they will shift their focus away from this market entirely.
