Discounted Games (missed / updated list)

purple1976 — Thu, 23 Jan 2020 22:26:09 GMT

I've recently activated my Buddy Pass...

I missed the opportunity to take advantage of the discount to buy some games as Stadia Pro user, is there a possibility that they will return to the discount?

I'm not able to understand clearly which games are discounted and how much you save as Stadia Pro user. Is there a way to understand it from the App?

It might be that Google will bring some games which were discounted in the past back with a discount available. At the moment it's unclear though when the next discounts will come and for which games and also how much the discount is. In the past the discounts were always different, so roughly I would say 10-60% is always possible on Stadia, maybe more, but that totally depends on Google.

FFXV launched at a discount and was $30, they recently put it up as a discount again but instead for $20.

NBA was the same discount both times it was up.

How do you understand which games are discounted? I have a Buddy Pass activated, but in my App (Android Phone e Tablet) I don't see discounts, they all seem to be full price games. It's normal?

@purple1976 : Any time that some deals are active a new group appears called "Stadia Pro deals", and that has a listing of whatever titles are discounted for Pro users. URL can be found here: https://stadia.google.com/store/list/45

As you have seen, currently there are no active Pro deals and so everything is listed at normal price. Hopefully some additional discounts will kick-in soon, until that does and once we have news as to the new Pro title(s) that are to be added I suspect that folks are not going to be purchasing too much...lol

Joining stadia late December, there were discounts available but never realised there was expiration dates on the discounted titles so I didn't buy any games much to my disappointed. I was happy enough playing the free games but just admit, I'm annoyed that there are no pro discounts at present as this is one of the perks of a pro membership. I was fully aware games would be on the expensive side but there's no chance in hell I'm paying full price for older games!

Perhaps the right thing to do is support Stadia and buy outside of discount (I.e. full price) but where’s the incentive to buy full price when we are supposedly subscribing to pro to allow options for discounts and said discounts come and then disappear regularly. Perhaps as consumers we may dip out of subscribing to match the regularity of discounts disappearing. That may wake up this service. The silence is truly deafening on deals right now and needs speedy resolution.

Now I understand something about how discounts work, thanks to all! . I have a good feeling that in February, apart from the promo for Stadia Pro users, several games will be released ... I hope to see some discounted games soon, full price is too much for me.
