I didn't know the controller connects directly to the servers. That's legitimately a genius idea.
It connects to your wifi, then it sends and receive packages from the server
A RUclipsr talking fair about stadia! What is this sorcery!
its sad how so many youtubers are bad mouthing this service to harvest all those stadia nay-sayers . quite happy that this guy here decided to express how it is a good service
Yeah honesty is rare these days. Too many big companies paying youtubers to say shit
@Trash Bandit yeah you might as well buy the sinking ship of Microsoft. Lol physical media is so last year dude, but, suit yourself.
@@ShivaM-dc4xe maybe because its bad
@@exglued2394 bet my house on it you haven't tried a stadia gaming session for yourself on a chrome cast with pad, don't trash stuff you haven't tried, take the blinkers off.
I have it and love it - it's free so what could be bad. I didn't want to invest tons of money in a console so this is amazing and it works on all my screens.
It really is, I can use it on my school laptop to do gaming during lunch at school
How is it free?
@@jaythevillain7684 You only pay for the game, and is yours forever (well if Google doesnt close stadia, which is pretty improbable tbh) , you don't need any subscription to play, there's only a pro subscription that allows you to play at 4k and gives you some discounts and free games like ps plus, but you don't need it.
You don't need to spend money on hardware to play at really high quality.
Use chromecast ultra and stadia controller for the best experience.
They have a free offer right now if you have RUclips premium right now. I got it why not
@@anthonydefr me too lmfaoo I can’t wait til I get it they say it probably won’t arrive til the 26th or 27th tho lol
Snap I got it 2 about time google gave something back as spend thousands on play store
@@harrypottersucks12 I got mine last week. Ordered it at 12:49 pm last Tuesday and it arrived 11am the next morning. A nice gift from RUclips.
@@jamesstuartfrost8278 Subscribe to 9 to 5 Google and keep an eye out for alerts. Each year I get a freebie from Google. The most recent was the Stadia Premiere, earlier this year a Nest Mini speaker and last year a Google Mini speaker. Good luck.
I use Stadia, Geforce Now and xCloud. I enjoy them all for different reasons. Stadia is by far the most polished and with my internet connection (1000Mbps), it feels like playing natively on my PC or consoles. I use Geforce Now to play games I already own on PC. Loading times are abysmal compared to Stadia, and even with my internet, I get artifacting and lag here and there, but it's still playable.
xCloud I use to play games I don't own, giving me a variety of games to try. Most of the games are hit and miss, and again, there is artifacting and lag here and there. The other thing I need from xCloud, is the ability to play on my TV or PC. The load times are almost as bad as Geforce Now. If I had to chose one service, it would be Stadia. It's just a lot smoother service.
Rich
Im surprised you haven't tried "Shadow" yet. With that you can play games from STEAM, Origin, Uplay, etc
Cloud gaming is taking over and Stadia leads the way for sure.
@@MisterUrbanWorld do you shadow regularly? Thanks
I run Stadia on my 250/100mb connection, using Xbox One controller, I have no lag or latency issues, runs great.
I completely forget that I play the games streamed - it just works!
If Stadia keeps up with releasing games the way they have the last month and keeps bringing more features to the platform - Stadia will be a huge platform over time.
Your wrong stadia sucks
@@mastermind5766 first of all, it's you're not your, and second of all, I am in the same conditions as him and it works very well.
You can cancel the subscription at any time during the 1st month and still get that month free
It is interesting to see, that even Google does not advertise the big pluses on Stadia.
- Loading Time is one big issue, if you compare the same game on PC, PS4 and Stadia.
- No Downloads and especially no updates was the thing for me to try and join Stadia.
- No other service offers 4k resolution with no lag, if you have a solid 35-50 Mbit
- You will always be able to play Stadia with the best graphical settings as you dont need any hardware to maintain or upgrade
But, I am still waiting for the new AAA games, which will all be hardware-killers, to run on 4k on Stadia without me having to invest in a €1200 upgrade of my PC.
Get Cyberpunk!!!
@@write2nick that’s what I was thinking. All I have is a switch and an dell xps13 ultra book. I want to get stadia just to play cyberpunk hence why I’m skimming these videos now. If anybody gets it let me know how it goes!!
Man, the flexibility of Stadia got me to actually got me to play games again. It fits my life! I really hope it doesn't go anywhere (especially after I bought all these damn games).
What do you need for playing in the chrome browser? Thanks
@@luisfernando55 it connects to Chrome. Open Stadia on Chrome and you can play
It's not so much about your internet speed, but the proximity to the closest data center. I'm fortunate because there is a Google data node under 10 miles from me. Add that to my ISP latency and it comes to well below 20 ms from my location. With so many competitors going into cloud gaming/computing, it may just come down to that.
It doesn't hurt that google has waaaay more data centers than xbox's servers. I would love if xcloud worked well for me, but it is hot garbage. That isn't saying anything about the service for others either. I am saying that I am clearly too far for it to be functional.
I have stadia I love it
I have stadia. And I love it too
Same here
It's amazing
@@Kanyeism14 stadia sucks
Yep, decided not to get either the new Xbox or PS5 because Stadia runs so well in my location.
Never have I seen a RUclipsr who didn't bash Stadia mercilessly
It seems like an okay option IF your internet is over 10mbps speed
For reference mine is 1.5mbps upload and 5 for download so in short form im screwed
I am a stadia founder. From day 1 I have had no issues whatsoever. The trash campaign that has been put on Stadia should be a crime. We don't need to own gaming hardware anymore, plain and simple. Stadia just works and works well. Consistently great performance and a nice roster of titles that is ever growing.
I use my xbox as my main gaming platform but I do use Stadia for games that would take up what's left of my internal and external storage(about 100gb out of 2.5 TB). The fact that you don't have to download anything and how fast games load is very nice.
I have used Stadia since about 3 months back mainly playing Destiny 2, and i am very pleased with the performance i have gotten. I recommend it to everyone. I don’t know why everybody was hating on it 6-12 months back.
Great vid. And thxs to tell the truth. Stadia simply works.
I was really surprised to see how well Stadia performed during my free subscription. Stadia just need more games and it will build player base. In order to do that, they need to have free to play games like Warzone.
RUclips Premium just gave me a Stadia Premiere Edition for free.
Same here 😅 came here for reviews and more info on it.
Same 😂
I still get next gen consoles but I love and will support Stadia. Have it since December and the only problems I had were on my end.
No need for download and space is amazing and I have never had so many games to play instantly. It works great on my mobile data and its fantastic since I travel a lot.
I'm not a fanboy of any platform and I like to game on many devices, and honestly Stadia is one of the coolest thing that happened for me.
I’ve been using stadia for a few days now, trying out the demos on there and it it awesome! I’m gonna be buying more games from Stadia as it is amazing 😍
You can cancel the Stadia Pro trial as soon as you start it. You'll still have access to Pro perks and games until the month's end, and it won't renew. Literal #StadiaProTip
Good vid. Ive been using stadia for 3 months now and I have the stadia controller and kishii controller too. Every once in a while I get lag but after a restart of a game it's barely noticeable. I have xcloud too, until I can find a way to stream those games on a laptop it's stadia for me
Day one user stadia is amazing I have a strong home internet we play three or four stadia accounts at the same time without any problems during the day I play it on my 4G LTE phone same thing zero issues no latency problems plays flawlessly..
A friend of mine just got me into Stadia and it's incredible! I do have a dedicated gaming laptop but cloud gaming is so epic, the ability to play 4k hdr content is awesome. I hope this platform takes off, it has so much potential.
Idk why everyone hates on it, it's rlly amazing, no need to download anything, it just runs in the browser on my laptop
At the time of making this comment....Google is offering the chromecast and controller bundle FREE for RUclips Premium subscribers. It's funny because I once joked that I would only play it if it was free. I also got a three month trial of stadia pro for free since I'm a google one subscriber. Going to give it a shot....Can't argue with free
Only if you were already subscribed before the 6th of November.
That’s what I said when I tried free trial of pro membership. They gave me few games to try. I said “This is actually amazing” :) I’m buying Cyberpunk on Stadia and play on free subscription since I only have 1080p projector. So excited to play on 60fps and faster loading will be awesome!!!
I was actually able to get a premiere edition for free from google. Probably wouldn't have bought it, but nothing beats free.
Same. Didnt even know what stadia was lol
I'm getting premiere edition free bc I'm gonna pre order Cyberpunk 2077 from stadia
No, Nvidia GeForce now is better
I got a Chromecast ultra from the pawnshop for $15 and it works great and I just bought a pretty much brand new Google stadia Premier controller for $20
If my wife wants to use the Chromecast Ultra on its own to stream Netflix can I play my Stadia games on my laptop? Having a 50-60MB fiber broadband would that be enough to stream 4K games @ 60fps? Has it received any software update like supporting Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, HDR+, eARC & ARC via HDMI?
Stadia is pretty great.
Stadia is great
Absolutely no doubt about it best than any cloud services out there.
Lol, have u tried out Xcloud. You get significantly more games and the quality of the games are outstanding.
Think again
@@the_all_legend1473 i.have both agree have more games but stadia is better by far when it's come too cloud gaming .
@roshan bhakta ok
It is the best cloud gaming service. Still sucks
@@gremsa not sure for other work without issue at my place at least
Today Stadia already works on any Android smartphone, but those not officially supported will show an experimental support message!
They should be avoiding devices with only 2.4 wifi, 5 ghz wifi is recommended
Its absolutely worth it as long as you dont exceed the data cap. not a problem for me living alone but could be for others
This review doesn't feel legit. I can't quite put my finger on it. Even if stadia didn't sponsor you, you probably have something to gain by them becoming successful becaus even with the controller I can see how bad the input lag is. 5:32 Either that or you aren't a true gamer. Input lag is one of the biggest sins a company making games can commit
Switch pro controller works too
Note: I can play everything perfectly fine on my Huawei P30 Pro.
I've had Stadia for 6 months+ now and have only had lag maybe once or twice (75Mbps DL)
I also have a Huawei and stadia runs smoothly with zero hiccups I really enjoy it.
Nice my internet is 100mbps just ordered the controller and Chromecast cant wait for balders gate 3
James Cannon I have 200 Mbps you’ll run it with no hiccups
@@iamgalaxey like I said lads, mine is only 75 and it's smooth ass a silk.
I have a shadow tech pc, geforce now and stadia.
Stadia works the best for me. After that comes shadow tech and then geforce now.
Stadia has very less/nearly no stuttering and no fps drops.
As shadow tech and geforce now are pc cloud gaming solutions, they come with the Problems, that pc gamers have( fps drops due to badly ported games etc.). If you pair These problems with the problems you get due to gamestreaming with these services, it's not enjoyable at all.
I would suggest stadia to anyone ober geforce now or Shadow in terms of Cloud gaming.
Do a Stadia Pro trial and you'll get almost 30 free games!
I started using Stadia today and its pretty great. The latency is virtually non-existent. I also use shadow and shadow is a full cloud PC and works great on a PC but on android it does have latency and stutter issues sometimes. I would recommend both, Stadia for people that just want easy,fast gaming on your phone or Google Chromecast device and Shadow if you want a really powerful PC not just for gaming but for anything else you want to do on a PC. Stadia is really awesome though because of its simplicity. I won't ever give up my Shadow PC but Stadia is definitely something I might consider keeping for on-the-go gaming. Stadia just needs to keep updating their library and they're solid. Just my opinion! Great video!
Stay at home, whatever platform you like just go with it. Keep away from the outside and personal contact. Sit back, plug in, and become comfortably numb while you slip into the matrix. We are being sedated into submission through entertainment. Its ok though, because mother Government knows best for you.
Well, I just got it for free but the controller and chrome cast won’t show up until January lol
Google doesn't stick with much of anything for too long so that's the main reason I would never buy this.
with this internet of course you will have lag
increase the internet and you will notice the difference in quality and less lag
idk what to think about stadia ive been a gamer since 2008 and the concept of cloud gaming is very new to me and idk if i wanna invest into it. however, my Lenovo 2020 intel core 3 laptop won't be able to run the strongest games so stadia might solve that issue not sure. i really wanna play Baldurs gate 3 but I dont have the money for i core 5 and i dont have the space either. my main plan is to buy baldurs gate 3 on steam then get a portable hardrive for space. if stadia would be cheaper then pls let me know.
Will it run on my Nokia 3310? :)
Oh my.. you better hold on tight.. future boy
actually ;)
Google is giving the premiere edition for free for RUclips Premium subscribers.
Only if you were already subscribed before the 6th of November.
Ive getting one of these free for been youthbe premium. Didnt even know it was a thing. Looking forward to trying it now. My Internet is fast enough.
in the covid world its not usable, every provider is limit bandwidth to deal with everyone being at home now
Good video
I main stadia and stream it weekly on wifi, carry on
I was going to buy Stadia Premier because I seen Assassins Creed Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077 and Red Dead Redemption 2 was on there. Come to find out its to buy the game and play. $70 for a controller and Google cast for $30 and another $60-$70 for 1 game plus $10 a month for best gameplay.
You can use your existing playstation/xbox controller or a laptop to play the games. Yeah you gotta pay for the games but that's about it.
Currently for $10 (Stadia Pro) you get 20+ free games and more every month. There's also 3 free demos you can try right now at no cost and without buying the controller.
I’m using the free version to play super shot with a ps4 controller and I got almost no lag on my 25mbps wifi but I do have a cheap router from Walmart which was 25$ which may be helping
So I got a Chromecast ultra and stadia controller for 50$ on eBay which I’m sure will make the gameplay much smoother
It's worth it now for cyberpunk 2077 alone now.
I have a pixel 4a and Google nest mini already, is it worth it?
6:30 you said you don’t have the equipment to start it with voice, but doesn’t the controller have voice assistant on it? I only just got the stadia premiere today, and have barely done anything with it, but I do have two home minis and the Chromecast ultra, so I’m aware that it _will_ work for me, but just wondering if, with the voice assistant button (you have to turn this setting on in the app) and the built-in mic, might that not allow you to start games by voice?
so if you have a shitty computer you can still play games in HD? man that is a huge selling point for me. I just might get it so i can play titles that my shitty computer cant run
You don't need to download Anything and it works perfectly on my tablet I got dead by daylight for free with the 10 dollars discount and it runs PERFECTLY bruh this is gonna be the way im playing cyberpunk 2077 I can't wait for the 5th
Okay, but how did it live after that launch ordeal? And more importantly, is it better than steam?
I honestly didn't know people still had under 100 mbps speeds lol
I have 80mbs internet but I get bad input lag. Then again I'm using a (cheap) phone and a Switch pro controller... I'm scared to buy the Stadia controller and Chromecast, what if it still has input lag?
I had same issues when I used the PS 4 controller, once I started using the Stadia controller I have noticed a lot less input lag. It's still there but it is not as noticeable.
I’m sure that with the Chromecast ultra you’ll get much less lag because many youtubers say for the best experience to use the Chromecast because it reduces lag and if u also get the controller it’ll give you a better experience
I’m waiting for my Chromecast ultra and controller to arrive and I have 25mbps wifi
Also make sure you have a good router for the best signal
Simple don’t but this trash.
the problem at the beginning was with its Bluetooth control, it generated the delay, which is why Stadia worked better with the Stadia controller
Your internet doesn't help either, with 10 mbps you can't run Stadia (and any other service) above 720p resolution
1080p for your internet does not roll! if you put it will be a problem since for 1080p you need 20 mbps
Another problem may be wifi 2.4 (which is very bad)
They recommend 5 Ghz wifi
bruh google stadia says i have 250Mbps so i guess my internet is good xd
What is your ISP's ping to Google server? I think that ping matters more than extra connection speed required by google.
Got 3 months for free and I'm absolutely in love with thism It actually works!
I have been using since launch and it has gone from meh to my prefered game platform.
I'm guessing that based on your speed, my RF internet connection should be okay for handling one of these systems. I just ran a speed test and got 13 ms ping, 29 ms jitter, 17.1 mbps download and 3.2 mbps upload.
I've been worried that my connection might not be able to work with this system, but I'm a little more hopeful, now. I just really wish that they would post the prices of their games on their site at stadia.google.com. Still pretty hesitant to invest in something when I have no idea how much the software will cost. With other games, companies are more than happy to throw their prices up there for you. google? Not so much, it seems. They don't even want you to see preview images or video of the games they offer. That just doesn't feel very buyer-friendly.
I don't have one of the phones you listed (Motorola e5 Cruise with Android 8). Is it required for setup and game play, or does the google chrome ultra handle that on the TV it'll be plugged into?
Thanks for any additional information on this since google doesn't seem to think that it's important enough to add to their site. Also, enjoyed the review. At least it actually addresses some of the concerns the shills won't mention. =)
Weather it’s worth it or not I’m getting it free right now. BOOM!
What's the point to get stadia as opposed to consoles.
There are few cons and pros. The pros are: no download time, don't need space on your hard drive or ssd for the games. Don't need a beefy gaming PC to play 4k hdr 60fps
It’s dumb just stick to console for a better experience
I got it recently, and I have to say, I've been blown away! I'm a PC and console gamer, and to be honest I just love the pure simplicity of Stadia. Love how I don't have to worry about upgrading hardware on my end, and the latency with the Chromecast and controller is literally non-existant. Very very impressed.
Exactly my thoughts :)
Thanks a lot!
Mine came today im pretty happy with it destiny runs a bit hit or miss
Short answer:YES
To all those people who are saying stadia or any other cloud service is giving them native experience is a joke. Try to headshot an enemy while running that's close to impossible. Even streaming game locally using steam from my overkill pc to laptop over gigabit lan yields lag and video artifacts. I agree that most of the time it's hard to notice but it's always present.
That is why i use Stadia for single player games , it works great, i am even surprised how good it works considering the fact that i play with VPN, since my country is not officially supported and the nearest Data Center is 1300 kilometres away. Also my internet speed is not very fancy like 1TB or anything but it gets around 60-70 MB with 2MS ping
I have 50 plus hours of PUBG on Stadia. I have no problem sniping or aiming hitting those headshots. I have 3 buddies who are new to gaming and I always play on stadia with them. I got about 30 wins. It really is like playing on an xbox/ps4/pc. No lag at all when I play on a monitor/laptop/my phone.
Now when I put it on my TV, I get input lag due to my TV not having a low response time. So I only play on my laptop a monitor or on my phone.
@@Kanyeism14 See they are new to gaming what's why they have no problems. Once you have played any twitch shooter locally like CSGO or Fortnite (especially on high refresh monitor), it's hard to come back. Anyway the important thing is that you have friends on the same platform. The best platform is not PC/XBox/PS/Stadia/Switch, it's the one in which you can play games with your friends.
@@rahulsrma26 Well I'm only playing stadia cause of them. I have my pc pushing 100+ frames. I've played multiplayer online shooters over the years. Stadia is a great alternative and I believe cloud gaming will be the future. The games just work. Loading is extremely fast and don't gotta deal with updates.
@@Kanyeism14 Yeah, even I'm sick of the download and update time. These days games are 100+GB and their initial dev patches are in GBs. Cloud gaming with texture streaming and local rendering can save us from these issues in the future.
Its not bad at all
It is awesome just have a stable wired connection and play
i solely game on google stadia. definitely not wasting money on next gen
You mean LAST gen 🤣?
@@paulbuhler4653 no. next gen consoles
Ur the only one lmao.
and you had an enjoyable experience on 10mbs...imagine having 100 or more. It just....works.
I will have the experience of that soon .. new video also incoming.
@@TechGadgetsMedia looking forward to it!
If you want free subs on YT just showing that you don't hate Stadia. Noted.
I cant to use stadia, because i live in Russia ( I wanna cry when i see how mans in Amrica play in this service :cccc
With vpn - is olny shit
Lmao that’s why u should leave and go somewhere better.
So stadia works for the Note 9, note 10 range, but not the Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra? Bruh.....
I got it free from RUclips and I'm glad atm it's a waste of money can't link the controller I've been trying for an hour
Have you got it to link? It's pretty easy to setup dude
@@suprarose1584 It does not work with iPhones/Mac
@@theemillennial it works with iphone now
@@theemillennial all you need to do, is have the app the Chromecast tells you to download, set it up, then when it tells you the code on the TV, try the code on the phone first, you might have to close the app first, and then try the code on the TV. I just got mine, and got it setup in maybe 7 minutes
@@suprarose1584 I did all of that, googled it, AND spoke to Stadia they couldn't get it to work IT DOES NOT WORK FOR IOS devices you can look it up yourself it does not work for IOS and for whatever reason they don't explicitly tell people this. I am savvy and believe me it does NOT work for IOS I had spent 3 days figuring this out
So Stadia actually got good?
I'm kinda interested now, but very scared
Google is so big that it's now under splitting hazard and imagine cloud gaming in top of that.
Just claimed my free controller and Chromecast ultra ( RUclips premium subscriber) they are literally giving them away with a month's pro. Will see if it's worth it. At least I get a few Chromecast ultra,🤷
Google Stadia "Great concept - utter crap games."
Stadia is good as a temporary device. Will still be getting an Xbox.
Can you download PC games like Mugen on stadia?
Just use a ps4 or xbox one why get this
just wait for the switch pro
No need, stadia 2.0 is coming, with upgraded hardware, to compete graphically with the PS5 and new X Box. All at no additional cost to us stadia players. We can then play this on any screen we own that can receive a stream.
I love stadia but I'm still so afraid. I heard they're gonna be taking care of it for the next 10 years but I hope that means making the platform better
And after 10 years? Everything is gone? 😂
'Prices the same as on PC' nice joke
Just a tip. It’s not nine ninety nine dollars, it’s nine dollars and ninety-nine cents. No one says it like that in the U.S.
"barely any" latency
Hahaha oh no no no
Way u wast your time on thing like this when drops evey five mints it not worth it don't even tell me it good
I'm very very torn. I have been playing Destiny 2 for almost 2 weeks on Stadia (because it's free) and I have had zero connection issues which tempts me to purchase more games on the platform; however, Google has a history of pulling the plug on their services when they don't generate the profit they initially wanted. If I purchase a game on Stadia, and the service eventually shuts down, I will lose ALL my games. Also, paying full price for a game that can only be streamed through the cloud that doesn't give me the option to ever play it natively on my PC is just such a turn off. In its' current state, It feels if I put too much money into the service then i'm basically flushing my money down the toilet....
I have also been experimenting with another cloud gaming service, Nvidia Geforce Now. I already own a somewhat diverse library on Steam and Epic games and a majority of my games can be played on the service too. Geforce Now doesn't require me to buy my games again which is a plus. BUT! (and it's a big but) the que times on the free version are ABYSMAL! It will sometimes take me nearly 20-30min to be able to launch my games. It also limits you to only 1 hour a session. There is a paid edition ($10 a month) that promises to skip the que times but I'm not sure that I want to pay monthly just to be able to play my games.
Cloud gaming has a really solid start but it will never replace being able to play games natively on either a PC or a console. It is a good choice if you don't have the money to dish out on a brand new Playstation or XboX or if you simply have no interest in those consoles. Both of these services had really enormous setbacks that almost make neither of them worth it in the long run. I would love to hear your opinions on these services!
