Once your backup is ready, you should receive an email with download links to your exported Stadia data from Google Takeout. Thankfully, my personal Stadia backup only took two minutes to complete. Depending on the size of your Stadia export, which is determined by how many screenshots and videos you’ve saved, this process can take minutes, hours, or even days. Once you’re happy with the settings, click “ Create export” to begin the Takeout process. The default settings of “.zip” and “2 GB” are probably your best bets, but you can change these if you know what you’re doing. Next, you’ll want to choose what format to receive your exported Stadia data in. By default, you will receive them as links in an email, but you can save them to Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or Dropbox. Using the dropdown box below “Delivery method,” you can choose how you wish to save your Stadia export.

Open the Google Takeout web app, and make sure you’re logged in to the Google Account you use with Stadia. Here’s a quick rundown of how to use Google Takeout to download your game saves and where to find them once exported. Like every other app or service offered by Google, you’re freely allowed to export your data from Stadia using Google Takeout.
