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. Weirdly, as the fans whirred and the sweat beaded on my forehead, I was transported back to playing on last generation’s consoles – to that familiar […]

Should You Buy Games On Stadia?

Is Xbox Doing What Stadia Was (Incorrectly) Accused Of…?!
A large percentage of the hate out there targeted towards Stadia actually comes from misinformation. For example, the classic: “You have to buy the game and pay a monthly subscription.” As I am sure our readers will know, this isn’t true now nor has it ever been the case. You can buy games on Stadia […]
