Powered by cloud gaming technology, developers have taken advantage of these features to change the way you play, share, and experience your favorite games on Stadia.
Stadia’s four platform features are accessible to all players, whether you’re a new Stadia user and want to try Crowd Play in games like Super Bomberman R Online and Crayta, which are available at no additional cost, or if you’re a competitive player looking to dominate with your squad in The Division 2 using Stream Connect.
With a combined total of 25+ feature integrations across more than 20 games, there’s no shortage of creativity, experimentation and fun you can have with Stadia. And now, you can explore all of the games that support each feature with new Stadia store categories for State Share, Stream Connect, Crowd Play and Crowd Choice.
Today, we’re excited to reveal how id Software has added State Share to the all-new Horde Mode in DOOM Eternal, as well as Croteam adding Crowd Play to Serious Sam 4! Both integrations are available now to explore and play:
State Share in DOOM Eternal
Crowd Play in Serious Sam 4
Plus, today the multiplayer construction game and First on Stadia title Hello Engineer is leaving Early Access and fully launching on the Stadia store! With State Share, you can share a glimpse of your most incredible, creative machines from Sandbox Mode with friends, allowing them to play with resources and even blueprints they haven’t yet unlocked in a challenge to beat your best times.
To provide a resource for players looking to try Stadia’s platform features within the growing list of games that support them, we’ve added new categories in the Stadia store, published a new Help Center article, and compiled a comprehensive breakdown below. Explore these games on the Stadia store and enjoy!
What is it?
State Share allows players to save their game state when they take a screenshot or video capture in-game. Sharing this capture allows others to play that unique game state for themselves - allowing for creative challenges, surprising gameplay, and other experimentation by players.
Supported games in the Stadia store:
Hitman 1, Hitman 2, Hitman 3, PixelJunk Raiders, JUDGMENT, Serious Sam 4, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, Hello Engineer, HUMANKIND, DOOM Eternal
Each game that supports State Share can use it in different ways to create new gameplay loops for players to explore. While game states like this one in PixelJunk Raiders are designed around cooperation with equipment and weapons left behind by other players, using State Share in HUMANKIND is all about competing against the original player to build a bigger and better civilization! Try them all and share your game states with friends to play for themselves.
State Share is available today to try within DOOM Eternal on Stadia within the new Horde Mode. Take on waves of demons within a specific map, round, and set of weapons equipped, and see what high score you can pull off — then challenge others to beat your score!
What is it?
With Crowd Play, YouTube viewers get the chance to jump into the live stream they're watching and play alongside YouTube Creators. Now available in beta, Creators can apply for access and invite viewers to queue up and play with them live.
Supported games in the Stadia store:
Samurai Shodown, Mortal Kombat 11, Borderlands 3, Super Bomberman R Online, Dead by Daylight, Outcasters, Crayta, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 - The Official Video Game, Serious Sam 4
Ever wanted to jump straight through a YouTube video to join your favorite Creator in their game? With Crowd Play, it’s possible to do just that. For example, Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 allows Creators to invite viewers on YouTube to join in on 18 fun-fueled events like basketball, tennis, soccer, and more!
What is it?
Stadia games that feature Crowd Choice create their own polls to let YouTube viewers decide what happens in a game during a live stream. Poll questions and results will be displayed in the YouTube chat window next to the live stream.
Supported games in the Stadia store:
Samurai Shodown, Baldur’s Gate 3, Dead by Daylight, Outcasters, DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 2, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom
Games aren’t always a breeze to play - some of the best ones present players with difficult decisions to make at every turn. Crowd Choice is the solution on Stadia, giving YouTube Creators the chance to poll their live stream viewers at specific moments in-game.
Explore Crowd Choice in Baldur's Gate 3 and help your favorite YouTube Creator survive the dangerous, choose-your-own-adventure world of Dungeons & Dragons. Vote to decide if friends will become foes, or make bigger decisions like whether to kiss the tentacled face of a Mindflayer or to suck on a goblin's toe.
What is it?
Stadia games that feature Stream Connect change how you experience co-op gameplay, allowing you and your teammates to see each other's screens as you play. With Stream Connect, you can view up to 3 teammates’ screens so that you can see where they are while you play in the same game.
Supported games in the Stadia store:
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint, The Division 2, The Crew 2, Orcs Must Die! 3, Outriders, Far Cry 6
Cooperative multiplayer games are a blast to play online with friends, but what makes them even better is keeping in tight coordination, executing each objective with precision. Stream Connect is the solution on Stadia, allowing you to see your teammates’ screens in the corner of your own screen while you play.
Capture outposts with precision in co-op play with Stream Connect in Far Cry 6.
Explore the world of Far Cry 6 with Stream Connect in co-op mode to work in sync with your comrade while taking over outposts and performing rescue missions. Looking for a friend to play with? Try using the new public parties feature supported within Far Cry 6 and other multiplayer games to find players interested in joining your game.
