Hey everyone! Over the last few months you've been letting us know about the features you want to see next on Stadia. Today, we're giving you a sneak peek into a little more of what we've been working on.

First off, search bar on Stadia for Web is rolling out now and will reach all players this week. It will make finding your favorite games much easier.

In addition, an updated UI along with sorting for your library is making its way to players this week, which will help keep track of all your purchased, free and Pro games. Check it out below :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

As for upcoming features, we don’t have dates to share and our design mockups may change, but we still wanted to share some of what’s to come with our community :slightly_smiling_face:

Let's start with a fun one, activity feed!

Activity feed shares content from friends and the Stadia community

Your activity feed on Stadia lets you show off your best video captures and helps friends find your game states with State Share. You’ll also be able to explore content from other players to help you find your next favorite game.

And to close things out, you’ll soon be able to access Stadia directly through an Android web browser rather than opening your Stadia app. Separately, you’ll also be able to delete captures in bulk on Web - see below.

We hope you’ve enjoyed seeing just a few of the updates planned for Stadia and we’ll of course be sharing more games and refinements soon. We look forward to gaming with you in 2021!

--------------------------------------------

More than 100 games are coming to Stadia in 2021, including Resident Evil Village, Hello Engineer, Farming Simulator 22 and others. For a full list of games available now on the Stadia store, visit Stadia.com

Huge step in the right direction, BUT if sorting is just that then its a problem.  While sorting is all well and good and can be helpful if it sorts by genre or something.  We really need folders or some sort of similar system though.

I think I will still use an extension for hiding games in my library.

I would love to see either categories for your games or a filter option. 

I would love to be able to just see my local multiplayer games.  Would also like to be able to just see my racing games, RPG, Adventure, First Person Shooters, Kids games, etc.

On a side note with Family share it would be nice if I could override a specific game to be allowed even if it exceed their age rating.  I am mainly suggesting this because of Crayta.  This I think is listed as Teen and my 7yo & 9yo would like to play it but I can not authorize them without setting it to manual approved each game.  That being said I should have the ability to over rule the age restriction on a game by game basis.

I know this is a technological problem but... can you slightly increase the bitrate to aliviarte the compression artifacts? We suffer from a lot of banding in dark scenes, macro-blocking and poor definition for any given resolution (1080p and 4k). Maybe use AV1 codec.

Finally, SEARCH BAR LET'S GO!

The design proposals are looking good, thank you for your work and keep improving Stadia for all. Now go rest and play some games, no downloads needed :winking_face:

I really, really like the activity feed. That's something I think I'll be enjoying.

Multiple selections of captures will be good for removal and maybe bulk download (probably not sharing as albums yet), however what I really need is more ways of filtering my captures collection, both by game, by vid/pic/gamestate and by time intervals. My collection size is… considerable.

How about a 'Add to my list' button in the games pages. It could be useful for further purchases.

Most times I'm playing via cc ultra on TV. Hope to see improvements on the TV UI which is horrible today. No buying options, search etc... There's only a neverending list of scrollable titles.

Finally Searching! :slightly_smiling_face: I think the activity feed looks really rad too. Fun way to share cool things happening in your game. I love Stadia :slightly_smiling_face:

Glad to see a Search Bar finally being introduced, hope itll be on the app as well.

Activity Feed will be great too, so we can see what other players are doing and the screenshots they take.

Also, would still like to see an on screen keyboard introduced so we can respond to messages instead of using smart replies.

And last but not least, add the Store to the Stadia itself, so we can purchase games on the devices we're using instead of the App / Desktop.

Thanks!

Finally a search bar. Wasn't a big deal to me at first until my library started growing and when I was looking for particular sales. Thanks for the sneak peek and some reassurance that you guys are still working on Stadia improvements. Google doesn't have the best rep when it comes to new services, and cloud gaming is also something that's just catching on so while people are on board, they are a bit shaky on things .

FInally! Great to see this addition. Would love to have a stadia app on my Chromecast with Google TV. I'm currenlty sideloading the android app but makes for a worse experience. Please get that added to the roadmap or bump up the list if possible.
