Google Stadia release, pricing and games announced

Does the future of gaming lie in streaming? Google surely thinks so and is betting heavily on it. As scheduled, the company provided details about its platform ahead of E3 during its first Stadia Connect streamed today.

The D Day is sometime in November of this year, when $129 will get you a Stadia Founder's Edition that comes bundled with an exclusive Night Blue Stadia Controller, a Google Chromecast Ultra for streaming to your TV, Destiny 2: The Collection, an exclusive Founder’s Stadia Name, and three months of Stadia Pro without charge for yourself, and three months of Stadia Pro to give away to a friend. With this bundle you can play across laptops, desktops, Pixel 3 and Pixel 3a2 with cross-screen early access from day one.

Note that the Founder Edition bundle is the only way to access Stadia this year. Other subscription services will open up in 2020. Stadia Pro, which is what you get with the Founder's Edition, is priced at $9.99 per month, allows you to play games up to 4K resolution at 60 frames per second with HDR and 5.1 surround sound. The free Stadia Base service which launches next year allows you to buy and keep games capped at 1080p and 60 frames per second with stereo sound but does not allow you to access games for free nor get special discounts which Pro subscribers can enjoy. The controler alone costs $69.

Regarding connectivity requirements, Google claims that "Stadia works across various connections from 35 Mbps down to a recommended minimum of 10 Mbps" and the platform with match resolution from 4K to 720p according to your network’s speed. Here's a nice infographic for that:

  • Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2,​
  • Doom Eternal, Doom (2016)
  • Rage 2, The Elder Scrolls Online
  • Wolfenstein: Youngblood

  • Darksiders Genesis
  • Assassin's Creed Odyssey
  • Just Dance
  • Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint
  • Tom Clancy's The Division 2
  • Trials Rising
  • The Crew 2
At launch the Stadia platform will be available in the following 14 countries: US, Canada, UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland.

The service will be accessible via a Chromecast Ultra, a regular Chrome browser on any computer, or a Pixel 3/3a smartphone, with support for more smartphones planned in the future.

What do you think of the Stadia after the announcement? Will you be subscribing for a Founder's Edition or you will wait and see how it fares?

It will not be doa... And it even says it works great on 30...

And if u wire ur connection and have a good router/modem then it will work great.

I have the mid class package from Xfinity and I NEVER drop below 150 at ANY point cept when they are working on the internet.... Or some moron runs into the damn pole <.< (Lotta moronic drivers where I live)

Most people that complain about network dropping tend to use the router/modem that they get from their isp... Then they buy the highest package their isp sells not realizing that they don't even get enough out of the lowest package from that shit router/modem.
oh ya, google even said its awesome so lets just forget what the beta was like...

Wow, $130 for a device where I get to pay for games that I stream over a network and not even get to download or keep in any way? What could possibly be wrong with that? It sounds absolutely infallible and future proof to me!


Oh wait, it's going to be DOA, Google and cloud gaming is an abortive idea.
Ohh look another moronic post from you... And as usual you are wrong in every aspect.

Ok, buy one, let us know how it goes. I'm a network tech. I'm not touching it with a 10 foot pole.

But what does that have to do with Steam? I'm just wondering how well Google Stradia will do to compete :unsure: I really want to know what you prefer, this or Steam.

The number of people sucking up to Google and cloud gaming is astounding, people sure like to place faith in a garbage concept that will only serve to piss off people. Sad.
Google has people brainwashed, even android is a flaming piece of garbage. Windows phone was infinitely better if you wanted an iOS alternative, but now one of the worst and insecure operating systems in history is on devices all over the world.

weird how well cloud gaming works nowadays yet you say it doesn't... I've been playing games on my Nvidia shield over their streaming service just fine... So again I have proved you to be moronic

you havent made a single point at all actually, its all fallacy arguments.

Whatever you'd like to believe. Guess you missed the very intentional "imo" bit. I myself need a high-end gpu. If you enjoy frame drops into the low tens, more power to ya buddy. Shrug. Enjoy your weekend. :)

I prefer anything to steam personally but not because of performance just I do not agree with the company...

However I have a 1.7k library on steam so I do use it... And I stream my games I haven't been on my PC in a month tbh

thats a strawman argument, you can certainly play metro exodus on a 580 rx at 60 fps easily, it wont be max settings but it will look much better than stadia.

Tell me about it, Windows phones had a lot of potential, and yet MS shot themselves in the foot. Granted, I don't like Apple phones, but I would definitely consider one if the price didn't cost me an arm and a leg, or my soul. The price alone is what makes me despise Apple products, you don't need to spend $1000 for a smartphone that has the same features as one that's half the price.

Yes, I like Chrome too, what are your thoughts on how commonplace and popular Google is? Sure, I hate them as a company, but their search engine and browser aren't too shabby, I think.


whats wrong with his post? my goodness...
Ignore him, he's just a whiny-ass punk. I hate cloud gaming and the Stradia and he goes tits up over my hating game streaming lol

Nothing he said was based on facts is what was wrong with it.
Lol

You should never consider iOS... Android is inf better... and you can repair Android easily... You cannot do that with iOS... Apple has had to be forced by the gov to let people repair their phones and they still try in every way to stop someone from repairing it.

see google has got to you a little as well, who says you need to buy the fastest iPhone with the best screen? Theres a reason why the top model is $1000, but you could get a much cheaper iPhone that still smokes android phones. For example, there still isnt an android phone faster than an iphone 8. And no android phone will be supported as much as an Iphone 8 will be.

Fairly sure you get to keep your games.... And why should you not have to pay for games? I pay for games I use on my Nvidia shield...

Idk if this Google shit works like Nvidia shield does... But if it does I don't see a problem

Tldr Nvidia shield has u log in with ur steam/epic/whatever account and if u own the game u can stream it... Or buy it then stream it.

Like I said, he's a whiny-ass punk who likes to counter-argue everything I say if I so much have the "audacity to bash Google and cloud gaming as a whole" oh wah wah wah :lol:

I don't even use my smartphone to use the internet, unless I have to, I just use it for music and talking/texting mostly, I couldn't care less about using it for internet surfing, because I can't be arsed to remember my WiFi password and I hate using 4G

Lmfao. Okay buddy. I may as well buy it on a console if I can't run it at max settings in 1080p on my PC. I keep saying things like "imo" and "I myself". Do you have some reading comprehension issues? What is so difficult to comprehend that someone else may have higher requirements? You want to speak about fallacy, when my statements are completely sound. You can't run Metro:Exodus at 1080p on max settings with any sort of stable or decent framerates. Period. What about that is fallacy? Yet you ASSUME Stadia will look worse. Not saying it won't, but it's not even been released yet. Yet you're crying fallacy. Try not to be such an obvious hypocrite.

I'm out of this topic. Like I said. Enjoy your weekend. :)
