Had a nasty bug on my Android Phone where I was no longer able to buy games using the Stadia App. It did not error, just would not pop up the payment window, and basically refresh the page and let nothing happen. After spending a week myself and even contacting support, we had no luck fixing the bug... I persisted to troubleshoot, and found a solution.
Please note the Stadia App uninstall may not be necessary but it doesn't hurt or take long just to be sure.
1. Uninstall Stadia App from Device.
2. Uninstall Google Chrome Browser (this is part of the problem)
3. Reinstall Google Chrome Browser
4. load chrome, open Stadia.com
at this point, stadia message will pop up, can not continue unless (not sure if it was play store or pay store) but
Play Store is updated... (this is probably the main bug, where updates along the way caused the stadia app payment system to break)
5. Select upgrade this app extension
Took a while but did work
6. Reinstall Stadia App
7. Proceed to buy your new game ![]()
Kudos if this helped you is appreciated, so I know to post again if I find solutions...
Hi @DrCentz
Thanks for sharing this useful troubleshooting post. It could be some issue on cache or Play Services. If you see again, try to delete cache on Google Play Services app.
It was an outdated play service that needed updating, nothing anyone would ever look for or even know about.
Hola puedo comprar la suscripción de stadia pro por la aplicación de stadia en android? Pero... con las tarjetas de Google play?
For me it didn't work but the idea was right - I did uninstall all updates for "Google Play Store" and cleared it's cache. After performing the login in the Play Store App itself I launched Stadia and the payment dialog reappeared!
Thanks for your hint!
