I was under the impression that I would be getting my Buddy Pass the same time as my access code. When will I be able to share my Buddy Pass with my friend?
Congrats on becoming a Founder!
Buddy Passes will start rolling out to Founders 15 days from launch, and they will be given out according to the order in which Founder's Edition orders were received.

It was implied when preordering that the Buddy Pass would be available basically from launch. Why did the timing change?
@AdVictoriam I can't find where the writing is anymore (the Founder's Edition section on the help page no longer exists), but I actually remember buddy pass was supposed to be available a few months after launch. If anything, they actually speed it up.
The Buddy Pass lasts for 3 months from activation, and can be used up to a year after being received, but the indication was always that Buddy Pass would give a friend basically the same access as you and would be included as part of the Founder's Edition kit.
So if buddy passes come out 15 days after launch.... I'll probably get that before my Founder's code
Sorry this sucks.
Can you please tell me when i can expect my code it has been 2 days since i have received my stadia!?
@ChrisFromGoogleGood idea would be to have the smartphone app get a date in there as ETA. This forum is not gonna be as visible the app. Additionally, considering the 15 day stagger from launch, does that essentially mean the buddy we invite will not be getting any of the free games/deals that expire on the 3rd?
If buddy pass takes as long as initial email codes at launch I will just tell my buddy that he should expect it in the 6 months from now to be on the safe side.
Google has made a lot of promises and did not deliver. I'm still waiting for this buddy pass. Google said it would be available at launch and it's 2 days later and nothing. Hopefully it'll get better.
I would think they would send out buddy pass to hit that sale to maximize sales.
It was stated on their initial emails
Your Buddy Pass will be sent within six months of delivery of your Founder's Edition. Your Buddy Pass must be redeemed within three months of receipt. A valid Buddy Pass entitles the recipient to access Stadia and receive their first three months of Stadia Pro at no charge when they sign up for a recurring subscription. Offer only available to new subscribers upon initial sign up.
