Google Stadia is now available and the first user experiences and reviews are coming in. So how do the readers of MeinMMO feel about it?
What is currently happening with Stadia? The cloud-based gaming platform from Google has been online since yesterday. This allows users to play directly on Google’s server, bypassing their own hardware, and essentially “have a PC provided”.
The launch line-up of games for Stadia was updated shortly before release. Instead of the originally planned 12 games, the service launched with 22 games. Big names like Metro Exodus and Final Fantasy XV are on the list.
Even though not all users have received their Stadia packages yet, many are already testing the new platform and providing feedback.
The state of Google Stadia: The gaming media have also had the opportunity to test Google’s new platform and have shared their experiences.
The reactions have been mixed so far. The colleagues from Forbes describe Stadia as a “technical disaster“, while Nils Raettig from GameStar believes that Stadia is currently the best solution for cloud gaming, even though it has its problems.
The advantages of Stadia are:
- Independence from personal hardware
- Independence from the operating system
- No updates
- Short loading times
These are the disadvantages of Stadia:
- No crossplay
- Too few games at launch, no new titles included
- Good internet connection is necessary
- No mod support
