Cross progression and cross play

I wrote a thread on Reddit but came here as well. When porting games over to Stadia I believe it's very important to support these two features for the foreseeable future until there is a robust player base. 

The Division 2 is a prime example of what is right to do. Other ports suffer from having to restart progression on games we have many hours put in which can be a hindrance for many. 

 

For multiplayer games it is near impossible to get a lobby going with the size of the player base right now. Please consider cross play for these games so these modes are viable.

I completely agree, unfortunately this isn't a decision for the Stadia team. The developers are the ones that we need to be making this point clear to. Stadia as a platform already supports it and wants to see that cross progression and cross play.

Justice also concedes that the future of Stadia might mean competing less with other platforms rather than working with them in a complementary fashion through initiatives like crossplay and the ability to move save files between platforms. That way, let players take their games with them on the go using Stadia.

 “We’re working with more developers than we count right now on cross-play and cross-progression,” he says. “Those are key to this generation of gaming and that’s something Stadia has welcomed and supported since day one.” He says the “mobility of experience is expected now” and that one of Stadia’s primary goals now is to “meet players where they are and give them something valuable,” even if that means Stadia isn’t the primary place they play a game like Destiny 2."
