@GraceFromGoogle When can we expect these to roll out? I have checked and refreshed my app, but no Buddy Pass appears for me to share.

Hiya, friends! If you haven't received your bonus Buddy Pass yet, give it a bit more time then check back in. Looks like there were some minor technical hiccups that were resolved and we expect to have them completely rolled out today. If you are a Founder and by tomorrow you haven't gotten your extra, feel free to let us know and we'll dig in for you.

For those complaining that about premier edition doesnt get buddy passes. 

The fact someone else gets something you dont, does not de-value what you have. The premier bundle was a great deal when you do the math. You get a minimum of 4 free games(if you got it at launch)

You get early access. You get a $70 controller. And 3 months of pro, which gives you 4k and surround sound. 

You waited until founders was sold out to purchase. That was the deal they offered and the deal you paid for. Yes it bites they ran out, and its unfortunate they didnt have more.

The second buddy pass is a gift. It isn't something they advertised, so even founders didnt expect it.

See a ton of comments saying they don't have their first Buddy Pass, you get it thru your phone app, if you have Founders.. Launch Stadia, in the top left is a little MAIL icon... Click it

Finally some positive news. I'm a Premiere Edition user but this is a nice tool to spread the word. Now some big games announced before the end of 2019!

@GraceFromGoogle What should I do if I haven't got my first Buddy Pass yet? I've been in contact with Stadia Support about this for nearly 4 weeks now with no solution in sight... I ordered on June 6th.

If anybody has a Buddy Pass they're not using I'd be really appreciative.

This is awesome.

I had a difficult choice of who to give the first one to and it was between two of my best freinds.

Now ive got two passes it has solved the problem and also kept everyone happy.

Thank you!

You need to send the one first and when your friend has used the code the second code will automatically appear in your inbox on the Stadia app and you can send that to someone else.

To all the ones who think you should be able to do Stadia and another streaming service if you set your router up properly or have the right router you can.  I had to do this before Stadia ever came out.  If I game on my PC and someone else in the house is streaming or downloading it will not work as I don't have super internet.  So it's not a Stadia thing it's a solution that needs to be fixed with either your internet or dedicate bandwidth to your gaming PC or Stadia gaming.  C'mon people internet 101.

All these nice things for founders, but what about the people that pre-ordered and got premier? I don't think this is the update some of us were waiting for the last couple weeks. We all see improvements here and there, but again as a premier user you give us scraps. Can't even play on my pixel device wirelessly! 

Who cares right? Just a Premier user here looking for real updates...

You should have an incentive for founders and premiere subscribers. We are early adopters. So we could spread the buddy passes and then get a free game?

I don’t know why nobody from the stadia team announced it but then I tell you borderlands 3 is out now :ok_hand:Enjoy it

I’ve got the founders edition and I’m really happy to see this.  It was totally unexpected.

I’d like to see some love given to the premier edition owners too.  I’d even go as far as saying that I’d like to see anyone who’d bought in and stuck with it through to the end of the launch week upgraded to founder status(at least give them their own Premier Edition Name/Badge and status to differentiate them from the masses who come in later on) That launch was pretty painful yet here we all are.   Premier members weren’t promised anything to set them apart so they really had nothing to lose by refunding the purchase when things fell apart.  I tip my hat to all of you who stuck around.

@Sho can't imagine how wrong are you :slightly_smiling_face:

Both are early adopter... Founders and Premier edition get access to Stadia the same day.

A lot of Premier copies were sold the day after the Founders edition was sold out.

The fact that Founder's edition was "sold out" is a MARKETING strategy, not a real fact... It's done just to sell more copies creating a successfull product background.

Stadia (and Founders) needs Premiers account to test and to find someone to play with in Stadia (did you notice that is hard to play Destiny pvp?)

Moreover, more buddy pass, more players, better gaming experience, quite simple to undestand...

You should be glad that Premiers users pay the exact amount of money, supported the project exactly like you did and received almost no benefits.

I think that Premiers have all the rights to ask the same treatment, but if Stadia rejects the request I'll survive :slightly_smiling_face:

Io ho un grossissimo problema. Ho acquistato il pacchetto Stadia e quando ho ricevuto il codice di accesso l'ho inserito in una mia mail bloccata nei pagamenti e non riesco ad accedere a Stadia. Ora sto cercando di risolvere con Google ma dopo circa una settimana ancora non ho risposta. Qualcuno sarebbe così gentile da inviarmi un Buddy Pass per accedere? Ve.ne sarei infinitamente grato visto che è il regalo di mio figlio per natale. Chi può inviarmi un buddypass lo invii a lucahuna@gmail.com. Grazie ancora di cuore

@Shothanx for the explanation, it's attitudes like that that makes us feel so included and spreading the warm feeling of elitism. Buddy pass would be a great for all newcomers not only the elite that spent all the time they have on the internet so that they get every newsfeed feed straight to their brain while the rest of the world haven't had the chance to notice. A buddy pass to all players who spent the same amount of money would have spread the message of how great stadia could be, grow the community and kill the bad rumours. You on the other hand made this experience make it feel like lost money for me. With that sort of mindset excluding people that want to include their friends this is going to fall. Peace

can anyone please help me out. I bought a stadia on ebay like a jackass and then guy refuses to give me an invite code. I cant even unlock my stadia and I want to play so bad. I know I'm basically asking for free money but I'm broke and really want to use my controller.  if you can help shoot an email to iamalexsavino@gmail.com thanks so much

@IAMTIGER. I’d damned near went nuts waiting for mine to come in so I can understand the pain. Sending you an email to the address above with faith that you’re not just trolling for an extra buddy pass. Check your spam if you don’t see it. I’ll send you the code once you reply to the email. My only ask is that if you somehow get more than two please offer the extras up to someone who really needs it. Anyone else out there needing one I’d suggest checking with StadiaCast on YouTube, I think he’s been taking in unused buddy passes to redistribute to people who need them. Not sure how that’s been working out for him or how he plans to go about it.

Thanks in advance.

I know it may sound obvious but make sure your friend has activated the code once they have then itll automatically send you your bonus buddy code.

When can we expect this bonus? I'm a founder and haven't received any bonus pass. I would love to give my son one so I can add him as a family member. :disappointed_face:
