When you realise Outriders is included in another platform's monthly subscription, or $10 cheaper on your usual PC platform... and this is what I plan to play next month at least.

I've given up on you Stadia, this was the last month I'm paying as a founder... so far I've paid for the games I wanted to play, and rarely played anything that was included on the pro... so really can't justify the cost anymore when I mainly play on PC anyways.

I've tried to voice a request for ultra-wide, and so far head nothing... even though along other implementations, this seems like should have been a relatively easy one, at least for the games that support the resolution. If that changes, I might come back.

 

Until then, goodbye Stadia. It is you, not me.

I don't really like Resident Evil series so it's good to see 7 is included with Pro :slightly_smiling_face:

Let's see what the fuss is all about.

Like everyone said, please add a search bar--but for those that need one, check out the 'Stadia Enhanced' addon for Chrome and Chromium Edge, it's super useful and implements a whole lot of quality of life stuff, search bar, game tile layout, even the stream quality (1080p, 1440p, 2180p) in browsers.

 

Meanwhile, this is another great update, thanks Stadia. Looking forward to trying out Resident Evil 7 for what is essentially the first time, and a new JRPG to try out is always good.

That's some good editions to the monthly subscription.  I'd love it if they could include Samurai Showdown (again).  I know it was included ages ago, but that was during Stadia's initial few months.  By the time I joined (when it was first expanded to everyone) it was gone.  That's probably the case for most of us. I loved Samurai Showdown back in the 90s.

Elder scrolls can give F2P weeks all they want but until I can transfer my Xbox account to Stadia, I am not going to spend another dime on Elder Scrolls on any platform. They can check and see for themselves, it's been about 2 years and I've made good on that threat. I've probably spent about $3000 last year on gaming, much of it on Stadia, and NONE of it on elder scrolls. They can announce cross-save whenever they're ready to get some of that money.
