Google’s own game streaming service Stadia, has become the next company to take advantage of increased number of people being quarantined at home. Starting today and rolling out over the next 48 hours, Google is offering a free trial of Stadia Pro, which usually costs $9.99/month, for the next two months in 14 countries.
Google is also bundling 9 games to those who sign up for Stadia Pro, which include GRID, Destiny 2: The Collection, and Thumper. They also promise that extra games purchased by the user will still be available to them after the trial ends. To those with existing Stada Pro memberships, Google is waving of its fees for the next two months in line with this announcement.
To begin the free trial, follow these steps:
- Go to Stadia.com to sign up
- Download the Stadia app on Android or iOS
- Play on your laptop, desktop or Chrome OS tablet with your favorite (HID compliant) USB supported controller or mouse and keyboard
- Play over Wi-Fi on Pixel or many supported Android phones
To help with bandwidth concerns, Google will change the default screen resolution from 4K to 1080p. This change however, will not affect most users. To check out the free trial and sign up, click here.
