Google is offering 2 months of Stadia Pro for free

Want to try out game streaming while you're in lockdown? No? Well, Google is offering a free trial for its Stadia Pro service anyway. Those that live in the 14 countries where Stadia is available can get two months of Stadia Pro, and 9 games to try out right off the bat. You have 48 hours to grab the free trial, if you're interested, and after your two months of membership, you'll be automatically enrolled in the $9.99/mo tier, though you can cancel that at any time. Those that are already paying for the service will also find that they won't be charged for the next two months. All you need to do is follow the source link, sign up for the trial, and get the Stadia app.

Normally, Google Stadia Pro users can play games at 4K resolution, but during this time, where more users than normal are at home and using online services, Google will be defaulting games to 1080p, but you can change this if you really want to, by going to data usage settings.

Stadia was stillborn from the very beginning. Streaming service where you had to "buy" games AND pay a subscription fee with Google's history of killing its own services. Yeah... suuuure...

Streaming service can be viable only as subscription service that gives you access to a library of games for a small subscription fee.
Because no matter what kind of internet will you have you can't do anything about latency and video compression artefacts.
There's not enough bandwidth to stream uncompressed 1080p-4k video and there's no way to avoid latency issues until they will make internet FTL. Which isn't going to happen in the next 50-200 years. Even simple games like fighting games have major input lag issues when your ping hits 150 and they send and receive very small amounts of data. In case of streaming service - your client sends input etc, server runs the game, sends response and also sends audio and video data. 3 stages. Even in-home streaming shows some delay even if it's 10Gbit/s and ping is in microseconds.
