Trying Stadia while on vacation

Jump to Best Response

I live in a country where stadia is not available (Japan) but I am on vacation 5 weeks in a country where it is available (France).

I managed to get my hand on the Stadia premire pack with the controller and the chromecast ultra.

However, I am stuck at the part where I need to install Stadia on my phone. The problem is that all my google acounts are registered in the country I live (Japan) but Stadia is not available there so play store tells me the app is not available. I tried moving my account to France, but before doing so I was warned that I will not be able to change back to JP before 365 days, but I am getting back to Japan in 5 weeks ...

I tried downloading the apk of Stadia from other sources (apkpure) but when I reach the part "start trial" an click on it, I get the subscription you seleceted is not available.

What is my best course of actions from there ?

Hey @horo 

Not sure that this can help you since this is a edge case, you can try to skip the subscription and start one of the free game to enable your account (best from web before using the app)

Just click "Play on Stadia" on any of the following free game pages, you should be able to skip the PRO subscription

Destiny 2: https://stadia.google.com/games/destiny-2

Super Bomberman R Online: https://stadia.google.com/games/super-bomberman-r-online

but I'm still unsure this will work since your account is still from one of the countries currently not supported
