I guess this thread is the...unofficial...official response (Reddit AMA)?
"BUT here's the good part. Stadia IS NOT A BOX! You don't need our hardware to start playing, remember? Right after we ship your order (but not earlier than 9AM PST 11/19), we'll send you an email with the invite code. You can use it immediately to create your account and reserve your Stadia name in the Stadia app on Android or iOS. Just for clarity: the first day is a little special, if we ship your order on 11/18, you’ll receive the code on 11/19."
Barring some glitch or unforeseen circumstance, you will not. There are people who ordered months ago that have not received their codes yet.
The official response is that you'll get the code once your package is shipped. But so far that haven't been the case. Hopefully it will get better once the initial wave resides and more and more people getting their hands on the orders.

Yeah, definitely a letdown that we don't have codes yet...but, still holding out hope that we'll at least get those codes before the end of the day. I'll reply with an update if I end up getting my code anytime soon. Hang in there @camglegg! ![]()
FINALLY!! JUST got the email with my code! @camglegg
Hang in there everyone...there is light at the end of the tunnel!
See you online!
Order on
Founders Edition ordered on August 6.According
to Store.Google, the shipment will not arrive until the end of November (27/28). I am curious when my code comes, to the advantage I don't get the bumpy starts. I also try not to read articles with reviews about it so that my judgement really remains neutral because friends are waiting for my opinion.
Good things take time!
The Stadia App tells me if I order a stadia edition now, I can start playing right away. Is that another misleading information in the mix of this rocky launch?
