SEF Moment Blog Header - 26 Games.jpg

We’re excited to celebrate the more than 20 games available on the Stadia store that have integrated Stadia platform features like State Share, Stream Connect, Crowd Play and Crowd Choice. 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

  • Experience DOOM Eternal’s new arcade-style Horde Mode, defeating waves of demons to expand your arsenal, unlock new player skins and set high scores.
  • Compete with your friends or the DOOM community using State Share on Stadia to see who reigns supreme in Horde Mode. Challengers are taken directly to the start of your Horde Mode round, equipped with the same loadout and weapons in a contest to see if they can beat your high score.
  • Think you have what it takes to beat the team at id Software at their own game? They captured this game state in Horde Mode with a score of 6,950 on Round 1 of the Cultist Base map, armed only with a Combat Shotgun. Try to see if you can beat this score - and share your attempt with us on our Reddit thread or as a comment below this blog post!

Crowd Play in Serious Sam 4

  • When Crowd Play is enabled within the Stadia overlay by a player live streaming Serious Sam 4 on YouTube, the game will start a lobby screen to set up the game mode, level and other settings. Anyone watching the live stream can queue for their chance to join the lobby and play a live match!
  • Invite your viewers with the click of a button, and let them join your Campaign run or help lay waste to an endless stream of enemies in Survival mode.

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!

State Share

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.

Doom Eternal - SEF Player Post_R3.gif

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! 

Crowd Play

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!

Crowd Choice

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. 

Stream Connect

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. 

MicrosoftTeams_Image30.png
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. 

244540851_1004390916793080_9053779931514459426_n.png

Start a public party for multiplayer games like Far Cry 6 to find other players to invite to your adventure.

Stream Connect is the GOAT! We need as many title as possible to have this feature. I write STREAM CONNECT! In the feedback section on the app at least once a week, just cause it feels like they forget to remind devs that the feature exists. This is great news, that it is now featured on the store page.

Awesome technical developments from the programmers but can we have some big name games added to the platform? COD, Battlefield, GTA to name but a few

People need to stop complaining. Do Microsoft and Sony have weekly updates for their consoles?

Stadias weekly updates going to every other week are fine. More news at each update. Stop complaining.

If anyone was guessing why the blogs will be now every two weeks... This is why. If there is no new information you cannot call them "news"

Need more games supported by public parties, such as orcs must die 3, and other multiplayer games where it's very hard to find matches...

Also I would love to see support for steering wheels 🥺 I love Grid but I need a steering wheel

Nice important post. A lot of people will say this is filler, but there will be a lot of casual stadia players who don't know these features exist or what games have them. 
Make sure to share it and spread the word. Now i'm off to try and #BeatBethesda

OH !, Hitman 1, Hitman 2, Hitman 3 are games ?, but then they don't let them share them with the family to challenge us in scores because you say they are addons. And for that reason I have not bought them even though I love them. And possibly sharing with the family is one of the best qualities that stadia has.

And then mix packages, of repeated games of games by filtering categories or searching. The truth is that everything is very confusing, you need a good search and filtering system to find these games with special characteristics = D (and not have them temporarily in sections).

Well, I'll wait to see what next game offers they bring ... and especially the Stadia Pro games.

All great features, I don't care for them myself but that's just me. What I would like though apart from GTA and all the other big titles that are missing is better marketing,  the amount of people who I meet that have not heard of Stadia is mind blowing. If you can fix this then m6 first issue will be solved as the amount of users will go through the roof.

Agreed @RedDragon. I've not seen one advert for Stadia on actual Television. I mean do they want more players or not?! Spend some of that cash Google. More advertisment = more players = more games sold = more games made = more AAA titles. It's not rocket science. The platform is great, far cheaper than consoles or PC, and offers unique features (like those mentioned above). Stadia is right for success, if it had the Marketing to support it.

@MaxMarshall I think the larger number of casual people gamers don't watch network (or cable) TV, they watch YouTube...why burn millions of $$ with TV outlets when it doesn't get to the player? Google understands their customers needs (and how to get to them) more than most gamers.

@Krampus I take your point, but I still think there are loads of gamers out there who would be influenced by 'traditional' T.V adverts. I'd agree that the younger demographic would be targeted better via online ads, but those old casuals like me still need to see slick productions on the box to sway them. It just gives it more weight and brings it into the general public's vocabulary (even if it's 'what's Stadia'). That's why companies pay so much for cup final adverts. I have a quite a few friends who are still into gaming and none of them have heard of Stadia. I'm late 30s, which I'd say  should still be a big target audience for Stadia. I've seen a fair few others on this forum mention the same thing. I'm sure Google have loads of expert Marketers and I hate it when layman tell experts how to do their job... But...

Waiting with bated breath for the next major Stadia platform feature, feature only possible thanks to the awesome power of the cloud computing and Google's technical prowess: 60 FPS on Elder Scrolls Online and other various games!

This extraordinary feat of engineering will make us the most envied group of gamers, I can hardly wait. Just imagine those extraordinary days to come, when we will play at 60 FPS like no one else!

For the Community who tunes in ever week and now every other week this is not so much new news... I did like to hear about more interactions with the community, that was cool to say, but what is it going to look like ? why have we have heard anything about stadia nov 19 2nd year anniversary ? whats the big plans for next year, perhaps a road map, What is Stadia makers doing ? can we get an inside update into these processes? Holidays 2021 looks to have Chorus as the biggest title early dec. is there any other plans for this ? I feel like the holidays are seeming to be a little quiet at Stadia ? Huge Stadia Fan, Run a podcast Stadia Party Chat Podcast, I am a founder, I am a news writer for stadia source, just want the best for stadia. Also I would love some official merchandise, Would be a nice touch to use who love the platform. Look forward to more interaction, and Year 3 coming around the corner !!

Please add games from other sources, that one already owns, like Steam, Origin, Uplay, Battle-Net, Epic, Rockstar etc. without the need to pay a monthly few there or here, like e.g. NVIDIA Geforce Now does, if only for a few games and an hour of gameplay at once, bur you can restart instantly and if you saved, like e.g. Tomb Raider, you can just go on :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you in advance and best wishes

Stadia, love the features.  Here is a idea! Don’t release your games on the same day to Pro. Drop them on scheduled dates ( maybe two at a time)  so that people can try them all before the next and that developer gets the most benefit from your revenue model.
