Google Stadia’s First Half of 2022 in Review
In retrospect, 2021 was a lower-key year for Google Stadia, with fewer major announcements regarding the platform itself compared to 2020. While several important new platform features dropped (e.g. Android TV and LG TV support, State Share, Direct Touch, Controller tethering, Ubisoft+ rollout, Public Parities) many users eagerly awaited even more proof that the platform […]

Why I “Shill” For Stadia…
Yes. I said it. It’s about time I admitted it. I’m a Stadia “Shill.” A Stan. A die hard. Though, I’m not payed a cent by Google and it probably is not for the reasons you might think… I have always enjoyed gaming. Ever since I was a kid playing Qbert and Pitfal on the […]

FIFA 23 Could Mean More for Stadia than You Think
FIFA 23 was announced for Stadia earlier this week. And, whilst this is undeniably brilliant news, there could be more to it than meets the eye. Back in 2020 when Stadia and EA first announced their partnerships, it was stated that EA would be bringing 5 games to the platform. Over the following 2 years, […]

Staying Cool With Stadia
As the temperatures in the UK soar, I, like many, have elected to stay indoors as much as possible. Sitting in shade, being fanned, and getting lost in gameplay.

Lake Shows The Power of Stadia Pro
Lake, from Gamious and and Whitethorn games, came to Stadia as a Pro game and it’s a perfect example of why I love gaming in the cloud. If you aren’t familiar with Lake it is a slow story based game where you assume the role of Meredith, a mail man’s daughter, who is covering her […]

Streaming (Anything) Has Never Been About Fidelity
If there is one place where I think Google may have gone wrong in advertising Stadia early on, it was in touting fidelity as a major reason for gaming in the cloud. Yes, you can certainly throw super high-end hardware (even multiple GPUs!) at the problem of rendering amazing output imagery in the cloud. But, […]

The Significance of Stadia’s Free Trials
Stadia is often criticized for not doing enough to entice new players to the platform and grow the user base. This is usually followed by a chorus of “they need to bring more games that gamers want to play” or “where is the hardware upgrade?”, but the truth is that Stadia is constantly rolling out […]

Should You Buy Games On Stadia?
Look. I get it… Stadia have been a bit slow to add games to the platform this year (30 of the expected 100+ having come so far); they previously closed down their own in house production studio; they missed some opportunities for some exclusive titles; they don’t often have a major presence at industry events […]
