Google held its official announcement of Stadia today giving us the last bits of information about the upcoming gaming streaming service. We finally learned pricing, games, and streaming quality.
While on the topic of streaming quality, Google confirmed that gamers can play Stadia with a internet connection speed as low as 5Mbps. Of course that only gets you 720p quality, but it is possible. The faster your data connection, the better the streaming quality. Here's a full breakdown of streaming quality.
When Stadia launches later this year, it'll be available with two different tiers: Stadia Pro and Stadia Base. Stadia Pro is a $9.99 monthly subscription that lets users play any game available on the service with the best streaming quality: 4K, HDR, 60FPS, HDR, and 5.1 audio. You'll need 30Mbps connection speeds and the proper hardware.
Stadia Base lets you buy individual games and play them on Stadia without needing a monthly subscription. Unfortunately, Google did not reveal how much individual games will cost on Stadia.
Speaking of games, some of the titles Google unveiled were Baldur's Gate 3, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Gylt, Get Packed, The Division 2, and Destiny 2. That goes along with some of the others games that have been rumored like Assassin's Creed Odyssey, the Tomb Raider trilogy, Doom and many more which were confirmed in a montage.
For a limited time, Google is offering a special Stadia Founder's Edition bundle that will come with a Chromecast Ultra, limited edition Stadia Controller in Night Blue, three months of Stadia Pro, exclusive Stadia name, Destiny 2 exclusive content, and buddy pass, which lets you give a friend three free months of Stadia Pro, all for $129. You can preorder that bundle now.
Unfortunately, Google did not reveal a set release date for Stadia aside from saying it'll launch in November.
