Google has revealed that its new game streaming service, Google Stadia, will offer subscribers of its Pro plan a free game every month. During a Reddit “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) session, Director of Product Andrey Doronichev revealed more details about the game streaming service, which will be officially launching later this year in November 2019.
Google Stadia Pro Plan Details
During the Reddit AMA, Doronichev explained that: “To be clear, Stadia Pro is not ‘Netflix for Games’ like some people have mentioned. A closer comparison would be like Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus. The Pro subscribers get 4K/HDR streaming, 5.1 sound, exclusive discounts, and access to some free games. Roughly one free game per month give or take. Starting with Destiny 2.”
This statement clarifies that Stadia Pro is designed to offer a premium gaming experience with high-quality streaming and sound, along with additional perks such as exclusive discounts. The inclusion of free games each month, starting with the popular title Destiny 2, adds significant value to the subscription, making it an attractive option for gamers who want to experience the latest titles without additional costs.
Additional Features and Future Updates
One of the features that will not be available at launch is Bluetooth audio. Doronichev mentioned that this feature would be added after the service has launched. This means that initially, users will need to use wired headphones or other audio solutions. However, the promise of future updates indicates that Google is committed to improving and expanding the capabilities of Stadia over time.
In addition to Bluetooth audio, there are other features and improvements that users can look forward to. For example, Google has hinted at the possibility of integrating more social features, such as streaming directly to YouTube, sharing gameplay clips, and even playing games with friends through shared links. These features could significantly enhance the social and interactive aspects of gaming on Stadia.
Moreover, Google Stadia aims to provide a seamless gaming experience across various devices, including TVs, laptops, desktops, and select tablets and smartphones. This cross-platform functionality means that gamers can start playing on one device and continue on another without losing progress, offering unparalleled flexibility and convenience.
