I know another thing I want that only Google could provide - let us drive the Google TV and Stadia TV interface using our Stadia controller instead of just restricting it to inside the Stadia app. I noticed yesterday that if I have a PlayStation controller linked to an iOS device, holding down the PS button brings up a list of all games on the device. Once my Stadia controller is linked to a device (Chromecast, CCGTV, Shield, TV, anything) if I turn on the controller it should turn on the device. If I move the stick it should navigate the UI. It’s a great controller with a connection to Google servers which also have a connection to the streaming device and could control the experience.

I made an earlier comment but want to add that if Rainbow Six Extraction is actually good, this will be exactly the kind of game I'd like to see on Stadia.  Essentially a LAN party with all client instance computers at the same site (hopefully) the lag between clients should be imperceptible.  Cross-save is a MUST have and Cross-play is a MUST have unless Stadia gets to 10m subscribers actively playing - this kind of game is the kind to get there.  PubG, Destiny2, Division 2 - etc. all great examples of MP games that are phenomenal on Stadia. Stadia should absolutely strike a deal with Bungie and make everything Destiny-related - EVERYTHING free for every Stadia subscriber.  It would make Stadia THE place to play Destiny 2 because it's so flipping expensive on other platforms to buy the add ons and figure out what you actually own vs. need to buy - I love the game but I'm done with it because of all the add-on nonsense and now they're doing it again with The Witch Queen DLC.  Just make it ALL free for Pro subscribers. Short of that, we just desperately need a GPU refresh to bring real 4k 60fps and ray tracing to games like CyberPunk, Division and AC:Valhallah.  Right now those games look better on PS5 and Series X and that's just not OK.  Stadia needs to be "Gaming PC Quality" not "almost Console quality".

I would like to see 3 things: Upgrade the backend GPUs to support 4K 60fps WITH RAY TRACING.  The games need to look as good on Stadia as they do on Series X and PS5.  After shutting down the AAA studio effort, Google needs to quash the rumors of abandoning Stadia by re-launching the service and committing to a whole generation of gaming. Something along the lines of a commitment to 5 years or more that the service will stay online and new 3rd party AAA titles throughout.  Cross save on every title.

Since the Stadia controller can link directly to WiFi and doesn't need to go through the iOS app, and Google could just stream the video to any device.   Hopefully, the plan is to stream live gameplay to YouTube, and once iOS 14 is released with native support for Googles VP9 codec, the latency should be comparable to what we see on the Chromecast Ultra today.  Even though everyone keeps talking about how Apple doesn't allow streaming a game service, the Steam Link app does exactly that and it's even on Apple TV. I hope that Google isn't trying to use Stadia to boost the Android ecosystem.  The lack of ability to play Stadia games on iPhones and even more so on iPads is the main reason I can't get most of my friends to even try Stadia.  If I could simply take my Stadia controller and show them on an iPhone or iPad (about 2/3 of my friends and family use iOS and not Android), I know of at least 5 people that would buy a Stadia controller right away and grow the ecosystem. If it's not on the roadmap, then it means your roadmap is radically off-course.
Even though it's not 60fps at 4k, the best way to play it is at 60fps at 1080p, based on my experience with RDR2 on both XBox One X and Stadia.    RDR2 is the first game I actually paid for on Stadia... See more...
Even though it's not 60fps at 4k, the best way to play it is at 60fps at 1080p, based on my experience with RDR2 on both XBox One X and Stadia.    RDR2 is the first game I actually paid for on Stadia and I'm SO glad that I did!  It looks fantastic on the X, but for me, it wasn't realistic to play it in different rooms of my house and I just found that I wasn't even finishing the story of the game on the X even though I bought it the day it came out.   I'm finding that I just pick it up and play for an hour or two on the TV in my room, the TV in my living room, or on an old Moto G5  Android phone I hadn't used for over a year clipped onto my Stadia controller.  I've even played it on my MacBook Pro which has never been used for gaming...   ever. It looks great, it loads SO fast, and I can move between screens with minimal pain.   I also have xCloud and XBox remote steaming, Steam Remote Play, NVidia GeForce Now, and PSNow...   None of them are anywhere near as good as Stadia latency and graphics quality, even the remote streaming to my Series X in the other room has latency spikes that are just not there with Stadia.  Steam remote to my high-end gaming PC is also really good, BUT finding a PC game that works 100% without needing the keyboard is rare.  Certainly not optimized to the level you see on consoles or Stadia. I'll definitely be buying more Stadia games after my RDR2 experience, but I will say that I wish all the games supported cross-save.  It's a pain to have to start everything over from scratch, even though in the case of RDR2 it's been a blast.  Google needs to pu$h all developers on the Stadia platform to support cross-save with PC at the very least.  That would radically improve adoption!

Yes - this is the single biggest thing holding back Stadia right now.   More than half of my friends of iPhones instead of Android devices and Stadia needs to support BOTH!  Especially now that iOS officially allows XBox, PS4 and Nintendo Switch Bluetooth controllers I could get a LOT of people on the Stadia platform if they could play it on their iPhone and iPad (which all of them own) and maybe the Apple TV (which about 1/4 of them own). This is the one area where it's really too bad that Google owns Stadia, because it seems like there's a bias in Stadia against supporting iOS since that would somehow compete with Android.   There's all kinds of finger pointing at Apple saying they won't allow it, but that doesn't seem to be the case with Moonlight and Steam Remote Play. But in the end, there's a really simple solution to the problem.  Instead of the controller being hooked up to the device at all, let the controller talk directly to Google via WiFi, and then stream the resulting feed through the YouTube app, just like any other live feed.   Apple would have a really hard time blocking something like that, since there would be no store integrated into a native app, it would just be like viewing a remote TV broadcast.
