Firebase Studio sunsets March 2027

This feels less like a product death than Google finally admitting Firebase Studio was trying to be two tools at once. The cleanup is rational, but the migration story still looks messy enough to frustrate teams that built real workflows around the browser IDE.

• –Antigravity becomes the serious home for code-first, agentic IDE work, putting Google more directly against Cursor- and Windsurf-style editors.
• –Google AI Studio gets the browser-prototyping lane, but Google says that migration path is still coming soon, so that side of the story feels less finished.
• –Firebase backends are unaffected, so this is a tooling reset, not an infrastructure scare for existing apps.
• –The June 22, 2026 cutoff for new workspaces is the real operational deadline; anyone starting fresh after that is already on borrowed time.
• –The broader signal is that Google wants cleaner product boundaries, even if that means forcing users to split a previously unified workflow into separate surfaces.
