Stadia platform hardware upgrade plans

Hi Stadia Team,

I want to talk to you about the promise that the service would have the possibilities to scale, and in the future support more advanced games.

The future is here now, and what i mean by that is for example a game like Assassins Creed Valhalla.

 

Operating at 60FPS at 4K on Xbox Series X, with very high graphics, compared to the results we are having today on Stadia: 30 FPS at 4k (medium graphics comparrision generally).

 

The Stadia platform have according to you scaling possibilities, and if these scaling possibilities was working, a game that requires more hardware power then Stadia is operating on at the moment, shouldnt this be automatically configured behind the scenes in the datacenters?

You talked earlier about the graphics cards being able to scale, and this is what all of us are buying into, we dont need to upgrade our hardware when new next gen consoles and games are appearing, so from what i can tell today, you are not scaling your hardware automatically to enable games to be played in a way that was explained in 2019.

 

So, can you clarify if the plan is to manually upgrade Stadia components in datacenters at a later date, or are you going to have the games that Stadia runs determine what graphics components is required, and scale it instantly based on the hardware demand of the games, providing the user with a more satisfying next-gen experience? 

 

Can we get an official reply to this?

Relying on 3rd party developers to bring people to a completely new and somewhat untested platform is silly. Warzone might be the only exception. I wonder if Stadia brought in a lot more users due to Cyberpunks horrible launch on almost every other platform. Stadias version was the best from what I had read. Stadia needs to make an exclusive, 1st party FPS Battle Royale that's made by Stadia, for Stadia to showcase how good the service can be. A 4k/60fps blood bath would definitely interest a lot of people. Destiny and PUBG just aren't doing it for me anymore.

Just imagine if Stadia was to do something like New World. Not sure it would have taken off like on PC but if Amazon can make a game like that surely Google can. Something really awesome would bring people over, especially with mouse and keyboard support.

Excellent post. Although Stadia is not known for big announcements, I would love to hear from the stadia team on potential update opportunities or even if the stadia team is not looking into updates at this time. Being kept in the dark is (in my eyes) more damaging and pushes the player base away. 

AMD's most recent product line has a lot of inclusive hardware available now. Whether or not stadia moves to incorporate the new tech.. who knows but it would be awesome to hear from the stadia people.
