What Exactly is Google’s Stadia?

To be honest, many users were expecting that Google will soon be making a huge announcement related to the gaming field. But the announcement of Stadia still came to the majority of people as a pleasant surprise!

We can describe Stadia as a full cross-platform game streaming service that basically doesn't even require some sort of special hardware or equipment.

This time the organization is focusing on eliminating the requirement of any sort of specialized hardware.

Things To Know About Google’s Stadia

1. Cost of Stadia

The company has not yet shared any major information related to the cost of Stadia or pricing details related to it. What we do know is that it will be coming to the US, Canada, and most of Europe in the next few months.

We would advise you to stay in sync with the details by joining Google's official Reddit community where they tend to post about such information.

2. Support for iOS Devices

We are well aware of the rivalry that goes on between Apple and Google and with time the competition only tends to get tougher. As of now, Google has not included anything about it in its live demo and there wasn't any mention of the availability of Stadia for iOS platforms and devices supported by it.

3. Existing Games

If you have questions like 'What about games I already own?' Then allow us to answer that for you because once you buy a game you would like to have the freedom to play it anywhere.

Google didn't actually mention the working of its ownership system or whether there would be a way to play the games you already own on the service, but this has also made it skeptical for many gamers.
