Some confusion

Jump to Best Response

Hello community! I am here because I figure that Stadia have a game that I like called Octopath Traveler. I could just buy one from Steam like a normal person, but I am on Mac. So I figur that I could buy the game and play the game here. So, can I cancel the premium subscription and still be able to buy the game and play it?

Yes, you don't need any subscription to buy a game on Stadia! just signup (use the free Pro trial if you want) and buy the game! the important things to remember is that you have to buy the game on Stadia to be able to play on the platform, if you buy the game on Steam you won't be able to use your steam game on Stadia (the same is on the opposite, you can't install a game buyed on Stadia).

here you can find the store page for Octopath Traveller

Remember that if you purchase the game and you don't like it you have 15 days to be refunded (max 2 hours of gameplay!)

Using stadia you will be able to play on almost any device, Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Android smartphones and so on, just remember to check your connection since having a good connection is a must for playing on Stadia! 

if you want to try the services without buying a game consider trying one of the free to play games on the platform (Destiny 2 and Bomberman R)

Okay. So my biggest question is that if I buy the game on Stadia, 

1. Will I be able to play it whenever I want?

2. Will I be able to play it on Mac?

 

Also can I not subscribe at the Setup page?

Just remember that you need at least 7mbps of stable connection (4g mobile could be not enough) in order to play
