Only 2 free games available?

My stadia showed up today and there are only two games available for free, destiny and samurai showdown. Destiny's servers are down and I can only play samurai. Anyone else have this problem?

@RickRol It's two included (technically it's not free, since it's part of being Pro member) games... for now. Google has stated that we will be getting more in the future, but there's no exact timeline.

Thanks, Ivan. I understand it's technically not free. I was under the assumption that with the founder package we get the pro subscription games which include more than two games. Guess I was the as in assumption that pro would have more than two games. Back to Xbox games pass.

Hi @RickRol ,

Think of Stadia Pro as more like Xbox Live Gold rather than the game pass. 

You get free games with Stadia every month, but once your subscription ends so does your access to the games you claimed as part of the subscription. 

And that's the way the news goes.

Understood. But $10/month for 2 games at opening? That's not well thought out if you want to capture an audience.

I don't really understand what's the interest of Stadia pro. I Can buy gales and play without paying every monthes. For the same monthly price I got PlayStation Now with a a lot of free games.

I think as of right now the interest is to help build a platform that will be able to compete later down the line. In April/May time they will release the free tier which will allow people to use the service without the monthly fee.

 

I love the versatility and the instantaneous access to games. Free game every month is a bonus of course. 

And that's the way the news goes.

Yes it's disappointing since they advertise a lot of games at launch then change it to 20 games and then right before launch said 44 games but only 2 of them are for pro. Also I already own more than half of the games but there is no way to link the games I own without purchasing them again on stadia. I will not pay full price again for a game I already own just to play it on stadia.

I think a lot of people who purchased STADIA already have the majority of the library it has to offer or we have tried those games some where along the years. I wish i could be in the brainstorm room hearing their discussions, I would love to see games we haven't experienced but I also don't want them scrambling and pressuring their first party developers to put out a game quick to the point its a terrible experience..

 

the one thing that confuses me most is usually with these systems being developed they usually have a game being developed to exhibit the power of it, you usually get this first party title at launch..STADIA is probably the only cloudsole (console) that has not done this

 

You'd automatically assume if there wasn't that..the prices would be so amazing there is just no way to deny it, but the majority of the products on STADIA are still more expensive

 

 

they have SO much work to do to be competitive.
