Stadia Referral Rewards not unlocking in my Account

Jump to Best Response

Hello greetings, I have 2 friend referrals in my Stadia Account yet the rewards have not unlocked. The promotional period is about to end and I don't want to miss out on that exclusive avatar. Mind you, I am based in the US with my 2 friends. Do I simply wait it out til September? Or Am I missing a requirement here? Thank you in advance for reading this and hopefully I get an answer.

My understanding of the referral system is that you don't actually get credit for the referral until your friends have actually paid for a month of Pro after exhausting the free trial period.

I referred 3 of my friends to try Stadia, 2 of them were completely new to Google Stadia while the other already had an account. I didn't get the 3rd reward, but manage to get the second reward which was the exclusive avatar. Also, it only counts when the referred friend subscribes to Stadia Pro. Hope this info clears any confusion for Stadians.

Yes, your absolutely right about that! I recieved the second reward which was the exclusive avatar just now. The referred friend(s) need to subscribe to Stadia Pro for it to count. Hope this info helps clear the confusion amongst Stadians seeking those referred rewards.

The only thing I can think of is that one or both of his/her friends already had a stadia account before, which then I believe wouldn’t count towards the rewards. I think it’s needs to be completely new account in order for it to work
