Google finally made a Stadia advert that doesn't suck

By - | Views: 20,098

It's genuinely amazing that it's taken Google, a company that runs an entire platform dedicated to video (YouTube), almost an entire year to get their message clear on Stadia.

Originally known as Project Stream, the game streaming service Stadia released to Founders originally back in November 2019. At the time you had to have access to Stadia Pro to do anything with it, which is a monthly subscription to get access to free games and 4K output. It took until April 2020 for the service to become open to everyone, countries supported permitting, and since then so many videos and articles have been released that didn't understand the service and how you use it. People continuously gave out wrong information on, saying it required a monthly fee but across the entire time you could stop paying for Stadia Pro and simply use Stadia as a normal store.

It's amazing then, that it's taken until October 5 2020 for Google to release a proper advertisement (below) to explain it in simple terms.

In other Stadia news Google recently rolled out a few nice new features. If you have a USB-C headset, you can now use that with the official Stadia Controller and it works across the web browser and Chromecast. They also added Tandem Mode, which lets you connect up another controller to your Stadia Controller's USB-C port — a pretty clever way to handle more local co-op play.

You can play Stadia on Linux in a Chrome / Chromium browser at Stadia.com.

Quoting: OLucasZanellaI fucking hate it that NONE of these streaming services are available in my country, where prices for gaming PCs are actually horrible.
Once they announced more countries, we will let you know!
