The Google Cloud Platform Terms of Service (section "Discontinuation of Services") defines the deprecation policy that applies to Google Cloud Tools. The deprecation policy only applies to the services, features, or products listed therein.

After a service, feature, or product is officially deprecated, it continues to be available for at least the period of time defined in the Terms of Service. After this period of time, the service is scheduled for shutdown.

Feature	Deprecated date	Shutdown date	Details
Google Cloud Tools for PowerShell	January 14, 2026	February 16, 2026	As of the deprecation date, Cloud Tools for PowerShell can no longer be installed using the Google Cloud CLI, and Cloud Tools for PowerShell is not being actively maintained. If you have previously downloaded the software, you can continue to use Cloud Tools for PowerShell, and you can continue to install Cloud Tools for PowerShell manually from an archived Google Cloud CLI version (550.0.0 or older). However, it is strongly recommended that you directly use the Google Cloud CLI in PowerShell, instead of using Cloud Tools for PowerShell. For a brief walkthrough to using the gcloud CLI in a similar manner to Cloud Tools for PowerShell, see Using the Google Cloud SDK with PowerShell
