I had a similar issue when I was using multiple devices during setup a phone and tablet. In the end I closed the app on all devices. Reopened the app on only the device that I had done the controller synching and this fixed the issue.

For me the specific problem was that when I tried to "add account" via the app the chromecast wasnt showing up. As i said try restarting apps, device, bluetooth etc. If this is your issue as well.

The Stadia app has a feedback form, I would recommend also posting this suggestion there.

Stadia is actually free to use, if you choose not to subscribe you will be on Stadia Base and you will only have to purchase the games you wish to play. You will be able to play these at 1080p 60 fps.

If you choose to subscribe you will be on Stadia Pro and can enjoy better quality, 4K HDR at 60fps with 5.1 Surround Sound. You will also be eligible for Pro Discounts on games and regular free games.

At this point what regular constitutes is unclear but as a comparison Playstation Plus users get several free games each month.

The good news is that if it does get a fix it will instantly be available on stadia, no download required!

@Ivan Yeah absolutely would be great to see features like that. And I'm sure we will see those because as you said it showcases the power of cloud gaming. But, until there is a much larger playerbase I dont think Stadia exclusive multiplayer modes are viable.

It will be interesting to see how big a factor the cloud aspect will be in efforts to get crossplay off the ground. If it turns out there is a significant advantage to one set of players, that could cause friction.

It seems without crossplay a large swathe of game content will effectively be unavailable to Stadia users. Hopefully Google are making positive strides in achieving crossplay across all titles otherwise this could be a real pitfall.

However putting those concerns aside I am excited about the opportunity Stadia has in its current state for great single player and couch co-op experiences. If there is a fast drive which is focused on acquiring the right kind of single player and couch co-op games I think Google could buy some time for itself to solve the multiplayer issues. While also carving an interesting brand of being the home for quality gaming experiences.

I'd like to see that the games being brought on board have some curation, that Google are asking the questions "Will this be a good experience on Stadia? Is this a Stadia game?". That approach will help to build a good brand and prevent games that the technology isnt quite ready for appearing in the library.

There also needs to be some move on game price, at least initially. The platform hasnt yet justified that kind of investment per game.

What do you all think? What approach do you want to see going forward?

Hi @GraceFromGoogle Ordered June 12th, received Stadia today. No code yet. Obviously quite disappointed. Concerned by the claims all June codes have been sent when I havent received mine. Could you clarify this? Thank you.

I've received confirmation my Stadia will be delivered tomorrow. Has anyone actually reported receiving their code prior to the physical delivery?
