Everything You Need To Know About Google Stadia

Google Stadia

The new upcoming streaming platform Google Stadia won’t just follow the Netflix business model, as many fans had expected. It will rather have both a subscription and games for sale separately, as Kotaku previously reported.

Here’s everything we learned so far about Google’s “Stadia Connect” stream.

Stadia, which was revealed in March, is a streaming platform created to let you play games without a high-end console or computer. If it works as they said it will, I’ll let you plug a Chromecast into your television and play games through the cloud, no hardware required. The base subscription price is $10/month, with a free version planned for next year, and a Founder’s Edition bundle available for $130 this November when Stadia releases.

Google says—you’ll need that Founder’s Edition to play in 2019—the platform won’t open up further until 2020. You won’t be able to subscribe to the standard Stadia Pro subscription until 2020, either.

In an official stream today, Google revealed the pricing, game lineup, and other details. First of all, here’s how your internet will correlate with your Stadia resolution:

Some other Stadia reveal:

  • Google revealed Baldur’s Gate 3 and Ghost Recon: Breakout for Stadia, the latter with a new trailer.
  • Other games announced include Gylt, an adventure game from developer Tequila Works, and a multiplayer Overcooked-style game called Get Packed from Moonshine Studios.
  • Division 2 will be there, too. Ubisoft overload!
  • Stadia Pro is the official service, at $10/month, which will give you access to the service’s games at 4K resolution/60 frames-per-second. This won’t include all the games, though—newer ones will be purchasable separately.
  • The controller is $70 standalone.
  • The Stadia Founder’s Edition will launch later this year for $130. It comes with a Chromecast Ultra, a Stadia controller, a copy of Destiny 2 (along with the new Shadowkeep expansion), and a three-month subscription along with a three-month buddy pass.
  • Other Stadia games include Assassin’s Creed OdysseyDoomDoom Eternal, the new Tomb Raider trilogy, Final Fantasy XVDarksiders GenesisMetro Exodus, and many others.
  • Google says it’ll be one user per Stadia account, tied to your Google ID—you can have a guest account for split screen, but other than that, no sharing. A Google spokesperson reached out to say that family sharing is coming in the future.)
  • “At launch, if you’re a Stadia user, you can play Stadia exclusively on Pixel 3 and 3a devices. However, you’ll be able to create your account and make subscription and game purchases from any Android M+ or iOS 11+ device that has access to the Stadia app.”
