Hey everybody, 

Stadia Community team here to bring you a quick recap of all things Stadia (that we can get our hands on!) from product updates to community highlights! We wanted to drop a post into the community before the holidays and are hoping to have more regular updates starting next year. We can’t promise that we’ll always have changes or updates to announce, but you will get more regular notes from us!

What we need from you is your feedback: do you like these types of recaps? What should we change?? What else would you like to see us talk about? Your feedback will inform how we communicate with you in the future, so please take a look at the inaugural edition below and let us know what you think!

Lots has been happening this month — hopefully you’ve caught our Stadia Savepoint update on The Keyword covering the latest Stadia updates, including:

  • All Chromecast Ultra devices received an update for Stadia compatibility, giving you access to another TV to play Stadia on.
  • Second Buddy Pass for Founders this holiday season!
  • New games coming to Stadia!

 

And, we’ve got two more updates for you here on the Community:

Ping! Achievements are here!

  • On Chrome browser, players can open a full view of all games played by the player. 
    • Selecting a game will open a detailed page containing all Achievements for a game, status of each achievement, and progress if provided by the game.
  • Players can view the Achievements of other players who have chosen to make them visible by selecting the other player’s profile. 
    • You can control who can view your Achievements in your Stadia Settings, under Friends & privacy.. 

Mobile app users, hang tight! We have more in store for Achievements in 2020, including mobile support.

Introducing the Stadia GuidesGraceFromGoogle_1-1576885471862.png

You may notice a handful of users on the Community Forum with the custom rank of “Stadia Guide.” These users have gone above and beyond to be helpful and valuable contributors to the community. As such, these users have been distinguished with a badge icon to signify their achievement. We'll have more information about how you can earn this distinction soon. For now, simply be a helpful and positive contributor and we'll keep you posted. 

Community Username Requests 

We’ve been seeing a small number of requests come in asking for the ability to change Community Forum usernames. We won’t be able to fulfill those requests - our policy is only to change usernames that are clearly abusive in nature. So pick that username carefully - you’ll be together for a long time!

 

KnownIssues.png

“Last added” filter not sorting games correctly -  When a user attempts to sort a list of games by “Last added”, it will not show the games in the order that they were added to Stadia.  Good news - we’ve made a lot of progress on a fix for this issue, and I’ll let you know when we are able to roll it out.

 

Accepting friend requests - Some users are reporting that they've "hit the friend cap.”  The user is able to send friend requests to other users on Stadia, but they’re unable to accept incoming requests. We have a fix in the works for this issue as well - stay tuned for further updates.

 

Spotlight.png

Aurora borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the internet? Localized entirely within your controller?

On Friday, December 13, we crowned the winner of the “I Made This” Play it Forward Community Event on r/Stadia. Shoutout to u/patlon for their phenomenal design, and you can catch them on our subreddit sporting the “Sweet Victory” flair. 

- - - - - - - - - - - - - 

… and that about rounds it up for this week! We’re hoping things will be pretty quiet so we can all play Borderla--- I mean, spend time with our loved ones... Don't expect too much news until we're all back in January, but we’ll be keeping our eyes open for any new bugs or issues and we’ll casually check in to see how you all are doing. Happy Holidays everybody~ 

 

Best, 

Grace and the Stadia team

I would also like to know when stadia support will be added to other mobile devices and iPads. I have a one plus 7 pro and an iPad pro. I would love to play my stadia on either or both of those! Thank you

I use the form every time it pops up after a play session. I urge everyone to do the same, it'll make it easier for Google and devs to make a good experience even better. To the whole team at Stadia: Thank you for listening, thank you for being awesome. Merry Xmas and.. here's hoping for 4K 60fps next year :winking_face:

Nice update!  Although I was hoping for some achievement spam in Darksiders lol, no matter it's a decent addition which can only be improved on.

Access and viewing achievement progress from in game on Chromecast is bound to be getting worked on for a future update :slightly_smiling_face:

Keep up the good work :thumbs_up:

Updates on new features, such as, youtube streams and google assistant. We always want updates on new games and new game studios creating content for stadia. Overall, it a really good product, rough, but that's expected during a "beta".

"Second Buddy Pass for Founders this holiday season!"

I thought i bought the Founders Edition, wasn't aware there was a Premiere edition.

I had the Founders Edition in the basket 2 weeks and when i finaly bought it i bought the premiere edition without a warning or info. OK, my bad... But now the Founders Edition gets another Free Budy Pass? I think a good move would have been to allow the friends of those who bougt the Premiere edition to try it also. I would love to be able to play with my friends and they would love to try it. It would have been a smar move on your side i think...

I am just mad i got the Premiere without knowing and i wanted the Budy pass for a friend i guess...

@GraceFromGoogle I am really enjoying Stadia so far it has made gaming feel like it moves everywhere I go. At home moving from living room TV to bedroom TV is convenient, no unplugging and replugging wires along with lugging a heavy console around like I used to. On the go and at other people's places I can connect to their computer or just my phone.

I'm very glad achievements are now available, however I was hoping for a more epic achievement sound when getting one, rather than a simple bleep.. I know it's a work in progress. Hoping the sound changes or possibly having a setting for it.

Very happy so far overall! You guys are doing an amazing job! Keep up the great work! Excited for all the upcoming games!

Ignored by Stadia team - Some Stadia Founder users like Gossbow007 haven't received his bonus buddy pass yet. He post a message 3 days ago and 

received no support from Stadia Team. We apologize to them and we want tell that every Stadia users count and without them Stadia can't success.

Love the update. Definitely want to hear about when Stadia is coming to IOS

1) Some method to import the games you already “own.” A) Able to repurchase at a much lower price, why pay the publisher 2x? Being able to forward a retail (not used game) purchase email to customer support for a one time use discount code. (Can easily see why would not do this for game purchased from someones yard sale.) B) New games on other platforms come equipped with Stadia Pro Trial Codes + the Stadia version of the game (work with publishers to include this deal to leech some players from other platforms into trying the service).

It would be great if you could make it easier to find updates like this here instead of game news sites. You could move the community area to the top of the explore page. You could post them to the stadia news blog where I could get them with my rss reader (rip Google reader).

@GraceFromGoogle I really enjoy getting these weekly/monthly updates, especially in the beginning as Stadia is so new, I would like to know what I'm capable of doing now. Like, when will the Google Assistant gets activated on my controller, what features will it serve? Could I use it to wake my Stadia up? Or to pause my game? Or maybe jump into another game?

The service itself works perfectly, and I'm definitely looking forward to more games. I would really like to play Call of Duty or the new Resident Evil 2 & 3 Remake. So learning what new games are about to drop would be greatly beneficial. 

Lastly, as a Founder I appreciate having more perks. So any new perks I receive, I'd like to know. Like different controller color options. Or beta tests. Or new custom avatar icons. 

Anyway, those are my thoughts.

Do you have any update about the headphones plug in the stadia controller that sometimes makes a creeking sound while playig games? It's not about the headphones, I tried using many of them andthey all do that disturbing creeking noises on the stadia controller while working perfectly on any other device. Ah, you should do something about the stada customers support, since they are not anwering hardware related questions, I've been told that I would have been recontacted via mail but no one ever wrote me again!

Hello everyone,  some can help me with how I can connect my controller to play in android phone (Samsung Galaxy s10)

@AlbertoGlez476 I connected a PS4 controller to my galaxy s9+ using blutooth and a cable but it's not working much fine. You can try buying a Usb-C Usb-c cable on amazon to connect the stadia controller directly.

@Lorenzo i buy the cable but it's not working, the app don't recognize and on chrome don't detect the button nothing

Would like to see the Stadia Guide program grow like XBOX Ambassadors program. Hopefully, one day I can become a "Stadia Guide", I love Stadia and wish to help new users and old.

Just got Stadia today.. enjoying it so far.. couple things I really REALLY would like to see and they would go far to bring new people in.

1) Public profiles or a way for third party websites to pull Achievement info. Sites like Exophase.com pull achievements from all over into one profile and they have 100s of thousands of users and many already expressing that if Stadia lets this site pull achievement data they will buy into Stadia.

2) Time played per game... in 2020 this needs to be a thing. Users need and want this data and most of your competition supplies this info. Also make this data able to be pulled like Steam, Xbox, Origin, GOG, Uplay and more do... 

 

So far.. enjoying the service, waiting for my Chromecast and controller to get here so I can test out 4k but very impressed with lack of controller lag on PC.

Hey J.R (Raymond) I would like to know if before the summer of 2020 we can play on devices (IOS or iPad OS) is that in my family we are all Apple fans it is like a tradition seems funny and silly, but we all have FE& PE but we can play in (TV and MacBook) we are a bit limited to the one of (iPad oh iPhon) And I was thinking of buying a Pixel but it would be the same as one (Xbox One S) and I really already have a PS4 and I do not want have more consoles oh DVD's in my room :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: ... I don't want to press, it's just a problem I have... Anyway, I wish you a good end of the year and the best in the world for 2020 ... We Love You :purple_heart: & Stadia:red_heart:

Stadia on a 4k TV with gaming mode, HDR, and Micro Contrast on high looks great! I'm just hoping that for us PC players we're not left out. Chrome Browser does not support over 1080 at the moment and the optimization isn't great. I prefer the mouse and keyboard and hope Stadia optimizes the chrome browser side of things.

To slow, EVERYTHING. Why should we wait for any of this. I don't understand, IF THIS IS A FULL FLEDGED SERVICE? When's the launch date? Quit dragging us paying customers along. Give US what you as a company (again) promised of this services. Because I am sssoooo sickk of this BETA type experience, GB speeds/Google wifi still can't ( maybe never will?) Get a good gaming session out of stadia WITHOUT HICCUPS. I want my PC going experience or else why would I pay monthly for something I can get right now ? SO FAR OVER 200$ HAVE GONE INTO STADIA AND I FEEL ROBBED. #SICKOFHALFBAKEDPRODUCTS #FIXSTADIA

Désolé mais pour une sortie aussi chaotique, je m'attendais a carrément mieux en général quand ont envoyé des clients dans sont propres flop ont met les bouchées doubles mais ce n'est pas du tout le cas les vacances furent bonnes ?

Thanks for the update. Just wondering, is there any chance Monster Hunter World would come to Stadia?

Couple notes: 

a second screen experience would be a bonus., access stores and achievements and challenges from various games 

are we going to get VR ? Half life 3 Medal of Honor ? what’s the future there.,? 

why did we get two tombraider in a row ? Doesn’t seem like a great gift to the founders., was hoping for more diversity., 

rumble function., it just rumbles like crazy., you should have a rumble which only rumbles when you get shot., or hit., like a response., because that controller goes crazy at everything in the world., perhaps high and low rumbles.,

This is good news, but we don't need a recap. What would be nice is to know more about the future of Stadia and what founders can expect.. For example, what games can we expect? Are there any new features coming next month? Thanks @GraceFromGoogle
