Hello @CyberCharlesPL  This just came up here yesterday: https://community.stadia.com/t5/Stadia-General/play-cyberpunk-from-GOG/m-p/44706/highlight/true#M19087  Short answer: no – it's not a PC in the cloud.

Hello @Czapla  "Cross play" is supported by Stadia, but whether it is available in any particular game depends on how that game was implemented by the developer. Some Stadia games support this today (e.g., Division 2), and I've heard that more will support it in the future. The advantage is a larger multiplayer base, of course. But, the disadvantage is exposure to PC players that may be hacking their games.

I can't make any guarantees, but I have heard nothing that indicates this type of restriction would occur. The "fine print" on the Cyberpunk 2077 offer makes no mention of the earlier offer, and that's where something like that would have to be spelled out. The only restriction I see is "while supplies last".

Hello @BigBaldyNose, Can you send this feedback through the Stadia app? That way it can be delivered to the Google team. The Founders Hub here is not a support forum (non-Founders may be experiencing this same issue, and would benefit from seeing things like this). So, you might also post this in one of the other forums, too.

If you buy a game on Xbox, do you get a license to play it on Playstation? Point being, Stadia is not a PC. The closest analogy is that it's a console in the cloud. Once you've bought a game on Stadia, you can play it on any device that supports Stadia (including a browser on a PC – that's how I play Stadia myself).

Hello @poggypogboi  There are no free-to-play games at this time. There are occasionally free weekends for various games. If you subscribe to Stadia Pro, you will have a substantial library of games available at no additional charge as long as you subscribe. However, you do not need to subscribe to Pro in order to play games you have purchased – you can play those as much as you want, including any online multiplayer features. Without Stadia Pro, you will just be missing 4K video and surround sound audio.
Hello @GamingPreferred  Thanks – I've escalated it in that forum. Hopefully the Nest support team can dig into this a bit more closely. It may take a few days for them to get to it, though.

Hello @markanism  Correct. They lowered the price of the Premier bundle and eliminated the three-month code. Now, anyone can sign up for a free month of pro, claim the current set of games, and play for free. If you don't intend to continue paying for Pro, just make sure to cancel the subscription before the free month is up.
Hello @Caluz78  I do not believe 10€ credit applies to a pre-order. You could just wait to order the game when it releases, and it should apply at that time.

It will be interesting to see what Chrome says is possible, but at least from this table: https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-decode-gpu-support-matrix it looks like the 980Ti can't do VP9 decode. It also looks like the i7-6700k is Skylake, which, according to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quick_Sync_Video#Hardware_decoding_and_encoding also does not support VP9 decode. Looks like you just missed it on both your CPU and GPU. Might be time for a GPU upgrade – I have an even older CPU, but put a 1060 in my machine a couple years ago so it can do VP9 (albeit at 8-bit only). I don't try to do 4K, though.

Hello @SSSJDanny  First, 4K support requires a GPU that can do VP9 decoding in hardware in addition to a 4K display. Are you sure your system can do VP9 in hardware? Next, you mention attaching a TV. Is this the only display attached, or is there also a monitor? I have seen reports of issues with playing 4K on systems that have two monitors attached when one of them isn't 4K. You may be able to get Stadia to recognize the 4K display by making it the primary display if it's currently a secondary. If that doesn't work, you may want to try having the TV be the only display connected.

The Stadia controller has Bluetooth hardware, but it's only used for initial setup and configuration. It's really designed to connect via WiFi, but also supports USB. It may be possible to make it work via Bluetooth, but I don't expect it's a high priority when there are two alternative methods already. Just get a short USB cable and connect it directly.

Hello @Ferri12345  The Stadia controller has Bluetooth, but it's only used for setup and configuration. It does not support using Bluetooth for gaming. It can be used to play Stadia games over WiFi on a Chromecast, a browser, or a supported Android phone. See this help article for more: https://support.google.com/stadia/answer/9605175?hl=en

Hello @Street_gamer , If by "normal" you mean a non-Ultra Chromecast, then it seems unlikely. Stadia supports two video encoding standards at this point: VP9 and H.264. But, H.264 is really only used for Chrome browsers running on devices that don't support hardware decoding of VP9, and it uses a higher bitrate than typical H.264 streams. While the pre-Ultra Chromecasts do have some support for decoding H.264, they do not support VP9, so Stadia would need to deliver H.264 to them as well, and it's not clear their older/slower processors could safely handle the high bitrate H.264 stream without overheating. I'm not saying I have any inside information on that (I don't), but I do have a few decades of experience as an engineer, and that's what I'd be worried about. That said, Google may surprise us at some point. On the other hand, we may see new streaming devices released at the higher end, and that could result in the CCU becoming the new entry level offering (again, I have no inside information, but it's what I would be doing). If that happens, I don't think they'll invest the time in trying to support the older models.
Hello @PixelAddicted  It should be available now, according to yesterday's post: https://community.stadia.com/t5/Stadia-Community-Blog/This-Week-on-Stadia-New-free-games-coming-to-Stadia-Pro/ba-p/27... See more...
Hello @PixelAddicted  It should be available now, according to yesterday's post: https://community.stadia.com/t5/Stadia-Community-Blog/This-Week-on-Stadia-New-free-games-coming-to-Stadia-Pro/ba-p/27224#  "Try games on Stadia using 4G and 5G with a new Stadia Experiment launching July 28. If you’d like to be part of this Experiment, you can opt in to cellular play by opening the Stadia app on an Android phone, clicking on your avatar in the top right corner, selecting Experiments, and then choosing Use Mobile Data. We’ll have more opt-in programs in the future as we bring even more helpful features to Stadia." It may take awhile to completely roll out to everyone, but I have seen reports from people using it successfully.

I like this suggestion, but I suspect the advice was to actually suggest this directly through the Stadia App itself, using the "Feedback" feature available through the menu that opens when you tap your avatar in the upper right corner. That's used to send feedback directly to the Stadia team at Google, which may not see it here in the community forums. Since this is a feature suggestion, just turn off the "Screenshot" and "System logs" at the bottom, and type your suggestion briefly in the text field above that.
Hello @TheProfesser  Red Dead Online is included in the purchase price of the Red Dead Redemption 2 game itself. No other subscription necessary – not even Stadia Pro.
