Google Stadia instead of next gen console??

[Mannginger]

I've been playing RDR2 on mine quite a bit recently Pretty capable and overall very happy with it

Saw this Razer Kishi via Reddit and thought I would get one, found on eBay for about £30. Works really nicely, USB-C slots into your phone then launch Stadia and you are away playing with no other intervention - can charge through it too which is a nice touch

Initially was playing on my Pixel 4 but has my old gen 1 Pixel in here as been playing it on that so I don't have to take my day to day phone in and out its case and into the unit (not that its a massive issue)

Quick question, I have 2 Google accounts, Main account and secondary 1.

On main account I have Cyberpunk 2077, on secondary account I have F1 2020 MS edition. I have set up a family group using main account and added secondary account in it.

But F1 2020 wont show up on main account and Cyberpunk 2077 wont show up on secondary account, how do I get them to show. Dont want to have to keep switching just want to run main account.

Check the games are shared in the settings, can take a bit of fiddling. Got a similar setup so my wife can play my stadia games and it does work ok once you get there

Been following Stadia for a while now, more from a technology point of view as opposed to gaming.

Signed up today for a 1 month trial of Pro and purchased Fifa 21 today (£15 with a discount code so happy with that). Got to say i'm very very impressed with it. Using a 20 quid PDP wired xbox controller and little to no lag what so ever and thats with netflix getting streamed downstairs.

Some practice needed however. First game ive played since an xbox 360 about 10 years ago and just got hammered on my first online game!

Might have to create a 3rd Gmail so can use that code to get FIFA

The tech is fantastic, I'm really getting into Assassin's Creed - amazing not to have to worry about storage space or specs of the machine.

Google just need to find a way to make money from it, because they really aren't making much money off people like me!!

Yet all I'd be thinking about, if I had one, were the specs of the virtual machine I'm running on

And me.

I don't think i'll pay for pro after the month trial as i won't use it enough. I they want to monetize it I guess i wouldn't mind too much if they put a 10 sec ad up before i could play the game to cover bandwidth costs etc.

I really don't care how Google is able to deliver stuff like this via WiFi and a device half the size of my phone!

I paid £12 for Assassin Creed with months ago, 18hrs in I feel like I've barely started the game - only done 1 conquest battle, and it just looks gorgeous on a 4K OLED screen - even when streamed at 1080P. £ per hour of entertainment its fab value, Google must be haemorrhaging cash keeping it going though as the back end tech cannot be cheap to run or maintain.

How you get for £15?

£10 off with every new Google account you make, Fifa is currently £25 on Stadia. You can link 5 accounts to one Stadia signon I believe- I've got 3 so far.

What's the online matches for Fifa on Stadia like? Can you play anyone cross platform or just other Stadia users?

Go into account two's game library and click the game you want to share under the title before you click the play button there is a small toggle switch titled "share this game with family"

[AJB88]

I sorted it in the end, deleted all the family and started again.

I think its Stadia only at present, Destiny 2 is suppose to be getting proper cross play across all platforms later this year.
