Data Stream downward

Hello We talk a lot about 4k and 60fps, and the fact that no game on stadia at present reaches it correctly .. But I want to ask something against it ... is it possible to set up an option to have a data stream at 480p or 720p? at the expense of a good resolution and a good detail, however, a low resolution would allow you to play even with random connections, even from a youtube window if you wish. Of course an option suitable only for casual gamers without any pretense, however, would give wider application to stadia. And then (I'll write it in my every post) I think that games on stadia really cost too much to be competitive with other platforms.

Stadia will dynamically adjust the stream down to 720p when it senses that is the best your connection can handle, but it will not go lower than that.

You can force this to occur via the Stadia app:

  1. Open the Stadia app
  2. Tap your account icon in the upper right
  3. Tap "Data usage & performance"
  4. Tap the option you want

By default it is set to "Best visual quality", which will automatically stream the best it can up to 4K, dependent on device and connection. You can, however, select "Limited data usage" to restrict the stream to 720p.
