Google Stadia
It was only a matter of time before Google got their teeth into gaming. Stadia will be a streaming gaming platform that is promising 4k gaming at 60fps across a variety of platforms with no lag. Whether that can be delivered is anybody's guess.

I'm sure Sony and Microsoft were hoping that Google would have waited to bring this out until after the PS5 and Xbox2. Streaming based gaming was always going to come sooner or later and doom consoles.

Can't see it working on a mass-scale, internet connection quality and stability is so varied, especially in the USA where everything is so spread out and ISPs have less competition.
Most people will be connecting via WIFI which is sketchy at the best of times, regardless of your internet speed. If you're willing to invest in a fast internet connection you're probably also willing to buy a console or gaming PC. |

What will it cost? Either a "premium fee" or you'll be interrupted in a zombie shootout to watch an ad for grammarly.

November 19th release date. RDR2 obviously the big one but Gylt looking good too. Anyone else signed up? What do you think?

Reviews so far have been less than glowing. Most users experiencing significant input lag, 1080/30 max resolution so far, games cost full price even though they are old, etc. Google decided to get into the "ship it half-baked" gaming industry too, I guess.

It can be done (as Sony proved) but it needs commitment. Not sure why anyone with an Xbox or PlayStation would want this (whereas the Switch was appealing for portability and exclusive games).

Gave this a try yesterday with the free 2 month Pro trial.
Actually impressed by how well it works, very easy to get running in a browser on my macbook, and the visual quality was really crisp. no blotchy pixellation that I've had when streaming games on other platforms in the past, and no noticeable input lag. was really just like playing the game locally on my computer. Not a great range of games to choose from and the ones you need to pay for are pretty pricey, but I was pleasantly surprised and will be keeping an eye on how this develops.
