Buddy Pass & Family Sharing

Hi,

I have two kids I would like to have play with Stadia and want them to have seperate accounts.

As having the Founder edition, I do have a buddy pass. I could use that to set up a second account.... but will I need to buy games for that account as well despite the fact that the second account makes part of my Google Family?? With other words, is Family Sharing already possible?

I really really would like to know how/when this will work as I am not planning to purchase twice the same game.

Hi, I have the same question on the best way to set up for kids. Can I share my subscription as part of the Google Family and will Family Link be able to set up to control what they can access/play and restrict in game chat?

This is what Google announced regarding the family or family sharing, hope it helps:

How will family link integrate into stadia? Will you be able to share games with family members in order to play together? Or will I have to buy a separate copy of the game for each child?

  • ANDREY: Family Link is supported on Day 1 to provide parents the ability to manage their child’s experience on Stadia. As a parent you have controls in your Family link app on the phone and the Stadia parental dashboard.
  • Family Sharing is not supported on day 1, so you’ll have to buy games for your child’s account. But it’s a high priority feature, we’re planning to launch early next year.
