The launch of Google Stadia, in November 2019, should soon dispel some uncertainties about the streaming service's offering, said director of product Andrey Doronichev, Reddit for an AMA. One of the biggest misunderstandings that has arisen during the debate is whether the Google Stadia Pro subscription is a kind of "Netflix for games", the Google Stadia website referring to as "a library". Always expanding free games ". . "This is absolutely not that. "A closer comparison would be like Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus," says Doronichev, "Pro subscribers enjoy 4K/HDR streaming, 5.1 sound, exclusive discounts, and access to some free games About one free game per month or for play. Starting with Destiny 2 (yay!)."

If Pro subscribers want to add more games to the free monthly game, they'll pay a hefty price on top of their $8.99/$9.99 per month subscription, though there are exclusive Stadia Pro discounts to smooth out the transaction. If you unsubscribe and then resubscribe to Pro, you will have access to the free games claimed again during your subscription, but you will have lost the free games when you unsubscribe. So if you want this free access to Destiny 2, make sure you're present at launch. If you want to keep Stadia Base, the free version of the service released in 2020, don't expect, unsurprisingly, free games or exclusive discounts. When Stadia Pro launches this year, all of the basic features of the service, including the play store, the ability to play games across multiple devices, and some built-in social features, will be operational. But there is a post-launch pipeline for more features. In the future, for example, Google will look to support more devices, including smartphones (the Pixel 3 and 3a will be the only phones supported at launch) and streaming boxes. It should also be noted that Stadia controllers will not work with Bluetooth headsets on startup. There is a solution for gamers using a Google Chrome browser or Pixel 3 phone to connect their headset to their laptop or phone. Otherwise, there is always a headphone jack on the controller for wired headphones until Bluetooth support is expanded. Despite this AMA, there are still questions about Google Stadia in the gaming community. But Google is trying to make it clear that it is ultimately committed to streaming games and appealing to those seeking the freedom to play the latest games without downloads, updates, or hardware restrictions.
