I cannot play Fifa with Stadia Pro?

Jump to Best Response

Dear  @StaffCommunity

I'm new here. I was expecting with Stadia Pro to be able to play any game on the platform.While now that I'm on the first month free trial, I can only play to a limited number of games.

Why Fifa 21 not available? It seems the only option to play is to purchase it as a single stand alone game, Is this normal?

After the trial period, if I pay for Stadia Pro I will be able to play any game including Fifa 21 and the 22 release?

Thanks in advance for your support. 

Kind regards

Fra

Hi @FRA Fifa is not included in the selected games that are included with the Pro membership. Maybe it will be included in the future (no guarantee), but until then you will need to purchase the game to be able to play on Stadia (no need to have Pro membership to purchase games directly)

Hi @FRA and welcome to Stadia!

I am afraid Stadia doesnt work that way. :slightly_smiling_face:
The best thing is to compare Stadia with a Playstation but without forcing you to buy new hardware if you have something to play on.

With Stadia you have the option to buy games, these games are for yours to play even without a Pro subscription.
Stadia also has some free to play games like Destiny 2, Bomberman and Hitman introduction levels, these also don't require a subscription.
If you do take the Stadia Pro subscription it comes with a few perks like claiming games, these games are for you to play without extra costs as long as you have Stadia Pro active.

Pro subscription

  • 4K with max 60 FPS
  • Surround sound support
  • Monthly claimable Pro games
  • Play bought games
  • Play free games
  • Play claimed Pro games

Free subscription

  • HD with max 60 FPS
  • Stereo sound
  • Play bought games
  • Play free games

Hope this clears things up! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Thanks a lot @Ivan @RXShorty for you prompt reply. All clear. 

Actually Fifa is the only game I'm still playing and I was curious to test it on Stadia...that's a pity not included in the trial. Would be nice to have at least the Fifa 22 Demo release with free subscription,  EA Sports are expected to release it by mid Sep.

Hi @FRA,

You can try Stadia with one the free to play games so you know Stadia is running correctly for you.
After this it is time to wait how FIFA 22 performs on Stadia but I bet it would be awesome like FIFA 21.

Also keep an eye on the socials as Stadia had some free to play weekends from time to time.
Maybe there is comming a free to play weekend of FIFA 22 on it's way but this is up to the developers. But I think this is not going to happen soon with FIFA 22 to be fair. :slightly_smiling_face:

Alternatively, you can purchase the game and return if you don't like by following the Stadia refund policies:

You can request a refund within 14 days of your purchase if there is less than two hours of play time across all accounts (family and personal). Games may only be returned once, so if you return a purchased game for a refund and subsequently re-purchase it, you will not be entitled to a refund. This voluntary refund only applies to purchased games and not for add-on content or services.
