E3 will return June 15th, 2021

[ad_1] You won’t be completely out of luck if you’re eager for gaming news in late spring. On top of Microsoft’s online Xbox event, IGN is orchestrating an event this June with numerous major developers and platform creators, including Amazon, Google, 2K Games, Sega and Square Enix. While we wouldn’t count on an abundance of […]

Google details what you need to play Stadia games in 4K on the web

[ad_1] However, you might notice what’s not present: any mention of Mac support. Much like YouTube in Safari, Apple’s resistance to VP9 over patent issues (it prefers royalty-free formats like AV1) makes official 4K support unlikely. Take heart, though. As 9to5Google observed, the unofficial Stadia+ extension for Chrome can force 4K on Macs if you’re […]

Google may add free trials and YouTube streaming to Stadia soon

[ad_1] The code 9to5 examined indicates Google is working on a new interface flow that would allow you to create a Stadia account without first inputting a code. At the moment, the fact a code is required to sign up means you need to either spend on $129 on the Stadia Premiere Edition or get […]

Google announces five Stadia games, including ‘Panzer Dragoon: Remake’

[ad_1] Panzer Dragoon: Remake is an updated version of the Sega Saturn classic with revamped visuals and controls. This won’t exactly be a Stadia exclusive, though. A Switch version has been scheduled for a winter release while GOG also has a listing for the remake. The Serious Sam Collection includes Serious Sam HD: The First […]

‘Destiny 2’ is offline as Bungie tries to fix a data-erasing bug (updated)

[ad_1] The developer is in the midst of testing a fix, including the possibility of restoring any missing goodies. It promised more updates on the situation. The company is keeping the game offline until there’s a solution, though, which could leave players waiting a long time — and it’s not certain that everything they earned […]

‘Metro Exodus’ and ‘Gylt’ are February’s free Stadia Pro games

[ad_1] Metro Exodus was initially exclusive to Epic Games Store on PC, but the first-person shooter debuted on Stadia when Google launched the service in November. Gylt, meanwhile, is Stadia’s first exclusive title. However, if you don’t snag current freebies Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration or Samurai Showdown by the end of […]

Verizon promo gives gigabit Fios customers free Google Stadia bundles

[ad_1] The bundle does give you a Chromecast Ultra and Stadia controller to keep, but you’re getting the same three-month trial of Stadia Pro that any Premiere Edition buyer gets. You’ll have to keep subscribing at $10 per month if you want Pro features beyond that, or else resign yourself to using the free 1080p […]

Google Stadia is being bundled with BT broadband packages in the UK

[ad_1] After the first three months, you’ll need to pay £8.99 per month to keep Stadia Pro. You can let the subscription expire, though, and still have access to Stadia Base, a basic storefront that lets you buy games individually and play them (via streaming) in up to 1080p resolution. BT’s offer is available until […]

Stadia Pro’s free January games are ‘Rise of the Tomb Raider’ and ‘Thumper’

[ad_1] The shuffle will bring Stadia Pro’s total bonus catalog to five games. That’s certainly better than what Google offered on launch, but it still leaves a core problem unaddressed: the selection of freebies isn’t particularly strong. There’s neither an abundance of games nor any must-haves. Of course, that’s part of why Stadia will have […]
