Hey all,
Just wondering if we have access to a development roadmap of upcoming features and tools? Really looking forward to seeing ultrawide support, 21:9, and irregular resolutions becoming supported in the near future.
If this has already been noted before, please link me to relevant posts and if a road map is still not available please comment and interact to get this issue more attention! Thank you!
Hello @itsmikemccall
Stadia did a public roadmap once last year, but they seem to have decided to wait until features are much closer to being ready for release before talking about them in public. As for aspect ratios other 16:9, this comes up occasionally, and the usual response is that it would introduce some significant complexity due to the fact that Stadia games can be switched between devices without being shut down. So, having them all be 16:9 makes switching transparent to the running game, while switching aspect ratios on the fly would require the game to be involved in the resolution change (which would require all games to support such a change on the fly). All of that said, I would encourage you to send this feedback to Google through the "Feedback" feature in the mobile Stadia app.
Thanks for the follow-up, I can see how that can be an issue but I'd appreciate the option becoming available in the future. Even if it meant disabling hot-swapping for myself.
I'll make sure to add it into feedback and if anyone else sees this via search or just stumbled upon it, I recommend you do to!
