StadiaAnniversaryBlog.png

Last November, our first Stadia gamers embraced a new way to play. You dove into something completely new, and turned your phones, tablets, laptops, and TVs into incredible gaming machines.

Your response to Stadia touched all of us here at Google. And you’ve inspired us to continue to build something that’s always getting better.

Since launch, Stadia’s library has more than quadrupled in size, with games from Rockstar, Bungie, Square Enix, Ubisoft, and many more. The number of free games you can get with Stadia Pro has increased many times over; if you’ve claimed every game since launch day, you now have more than 50+ free games in your library. You’ve experienced instant, free demos of big upcoming games like Immortals Fenyx Rising, without having to wait to download anything. With Crowd Choice, you’re turning the tables on your favorite streamers in Baldur’s Gate 3 and Dead by Daylight on YouTube.

Every step of the way, you’ve been there letting us know what worked, what didn’t, and where to go next. We’re grateful for a year of dialogue with our users – it’s your platform, and we’re committed to making it a great place to play.

Thank you for taking a leap with us into Stadia, a place where we’re building play for everyone. In the end, that’s what it’s really all about: the games that thrill us, move us, challenge us... and the love for those games that draws us all together. That’s why you’re here, and that’s why we’re here. Because games are just the best, and we want to bring them to more people in more ways than ever before.

We’re excited for what’s to come, and we hope you will be too.

See you on Stadia!

Hi there!

First, I want to tell that I'm not a native english speaker so if my words are not clear, feel free to say it to me and an Happy Birthday to the Stadia Team

Newcomer to Stadia from today! I have to say that I was not really interested by this service but after I tried every services available, Stadia is in term of performances, the best I've tried by far! I use my phone as a modem 4G+ and It works incredibly fine at 1080p with no lag and no major glitch on every games I played.

 

But if have few questions:

 

1) Is there any partnership planned with Steam or other plateform to get back our library? I've over 2000 games and I would like to fecover them x)

2) In the case where Stadia will shut down, what will become our games bought on it? @StadiaTeam 

 

A BIG Thank You for tour service, I can now play games I want again on my low-end PC

Congratulations! Just please do NOT pull a Google Play Music and kill this a few years into us paying for monthly subscriptions and purchasing games. Pretty please.

Good luck Stadia team!

Been a gamer for 40+ years and been with Stadia since day 1, loving it as if was not for it I would have been wasting a lot of money and time with updates on the ps5, this is the future and will only get better

Thanks for listening, sometimes taking some harsh criticism and not giving up. What you have is something potentially game changing but nothing good comes without hard work. Keep going, keep communicating, and never settle. I look forward to many great years with Stadia and it's crew!

Looking back, every single paid Youtuber was out to get us but deep inside we all saw something special in Stadia. When the Bad news came they came in extra hard and when the positives came it was silent. Be careful of Youtubers whose only positive news is about there Merchandise especially in a time where we are all cooped up at home and the only news they give is about the misfortunes of everyone. Stay Safe Stadia Fam. Happy Anniversary and many more happy memories to come.

   Happy Anniversary to all @ Stadia holding it down for all gamers on the go. I love how Google is changing the way we game and turning it into a reality... I call it, "My fix on the fly" consoles will be a thing of the past and the future of online gaming without hauling clunky consoles from place to place is fire. Let the big titles fall into Stadia and the game is over! 

~Sincerely yo best fan J

Lol, imagine starting an account just to troll on the forum of a service you don't like just because it's not your platform of choice... Now that's dedication! Also, that's a waste of  life! Try putting your efforts towards something else. I'm sure you'll be better off!

U guys made literally what use to be subject of wild discussion of what certain things would be like in the Future actually happen, and it's even better then what couldn't be conceived of back in in the day not so long ago. Crazy days to be alive in our current world on this planet, but this Stadia thing is absolutely one of those elements that make it so cool and exciting to be alive! I hope things just keep getting better and better! Thank you all for the experience

Had my reservations about Stadia. Well the stars aligned and I gave it a try with that free premier edition with Cyberpunk2077 promo... well, that and I got on fiberoptics so my internet is stupid fast. 

I think i will skip consoles other than Nintendo and run streaming services for next gen. You guys have changed the game going into next gen. Storage and pricing is going to be a huge problem going forward for physical and digital media.
