Google promises OS and security updates for the Pixel 8 for 7 years from when it first went on sale on the Google Store in the US, in October 2023. That points to updates until about October 2030. Google does not publish a date for each device, so treat this as an estimate.

For the Pixel 8, that promise covers Android OS updates, security updates and Pixel Drops. Pixel 8 and later phones get seven years of updates; the Pixel 6, Pixel 7 and Pixel Fold families get five. The Pixel 8’s seven-year period started when it first became available on the Google Store in the US, in October 2023.
