Also, the resolution is changing from 4K to a default of 1080, however that can still be adjusted via the app.  So not an issue.

This is definitely fantastic news. I can't wait to witness the player-base growth on Destiny 2.

I have to say I was shocked that current Pro subscription holders will also have the next 2 months free. This is unprecedented. Hats off to @StadiaTeam for this epic move.

To conclude, it means Stadia is finally out of the "beta" phase, and we now have to see whether this platform will be successful or not. And personally, I believe it will. Keep it up @StadiaTeam .

ok tell me how do you get it "free" without paying the $129? I have the Pixel 2 XL , I can't pay $129 yet . Now it's "free"? How?

[iceshot]

i'm trying to get it free too, but i need an invitation code?

@iceshot 

From the blog post, I believe they will be rolling this out for the next couple of days. So, you might have to wait until Friday, in case you are not up and running at this moment.

Edit:

A reply on Twitter by Stadia:

@rottenjorge @iceshot 

As per the blog...

"...Video games can be a valuable way to socialize with friends and family when you’re stuck at home, so we’re giving gamers in 14 countries free access to Stadia Pro for two months. This is starting today and rolling out over the next 48 hours."

If you’re new, playing on Stadia is simple: 

• Go to Stadia.com to sign up
• Download the Stadia app on Android or iOS
• Play on your laptop, desktop or Chrome OS tablet with your favorite (HID compliant) USB supported controller or mouse and keyboard
• Play over Wi-Fi on Pixel or many supported Android phones 

So if you've followed the instructions and it isn't an option for you yet, then obviously it hasn't been rolled out in your region yet, and so you will need to try again later until the roll-out reaches your location.

Echoing what @Streamer has mentioned, we're rolling this offer out over the next 48 hours, so if you're having trouble, hang tight and try again in a little bit. Thanks for your patience as we get Stadia into the hands of the masses!

@ChrisFromGoogle Any word on support for the A series of Samsung Galaxy phones? I specifically have an A20.. 

[meme415]

Very good Phil, I appreciate you helping the members of Stadia.

I have already paid April if you are not going to charge me May and June and the next payment of PRO 9.99 € would be for me on July 2 

I will proceed to buy Darksiders Genesis at this precise moment to support the platform.

With what I would only be left kine, football manager, lost words, monster energy, steamworld dig and heist, trials rising and wolfenstein.

 

 

 

And Two expansions of Rage 2,  expansion of Division 2 and season pass Ghost Recon and Division 2.

Great news for all of us that have been here since the beginning. Thank you Google!

G R E A T!

I really hope the servers can handle that! Otherwise, its a good test scenario.

[Babaganuche7]

This is great news that I think many of us have been waiting for. I know i personally will lower my quality from 4k to 1080 to help the servers manage, negligible as it may be. My only concern is pepple hitting their data caps without realizing it. Stadia unfprtunately uses a juge amount of data in a short period of time. I have unlimited so it's a non issue for me, but as someone who loves stadia I would hate for people to blame it for eating through their data.

Well I knew the beta phase was over when I noticed that I did not have any stuttering on my MacBook Air at all... I used to have a lot of stuttering on Chrome to a point where I was playing destiny 2 at 3 frames per second... I then started playing on edge but now edge is not supported but there is a incredible performance boost on Chrome, I do not need to go incognito mode anymore.

Hey! All,

I was one of the original beta testers of Stadia and at that time they gave us a FREE copy of Assassin's Creed® Odyssey.  I resigned up today for the FREE tier and declined the Stadia Pro Offer.  I was hoping since i signed up with the same gmail account that i used for the beta test that I still might see Assassin's Creed® Odyssey in my library. I was hoping to have one game to test since I didn't go PRO Free Trial that did come with some games. (I hate having to remember to cancel things)

Thanks

I bought stadia the 7th. I want a refund 

[Babaganuche7]

Nobody here can give you a refund. Talk to stadia support @DrDisco
