Google held a conference to answer some of the questions that gamers and potential customers.

First, The How?

Google claims that Stadia servers will be able to seamlessly stream games to users in 4K 60 FPS to customers using their Chrome browser on desktop or tablet, the Google Pixel 3 (for now), and TVs with Chromecast Ultra. Users are required to have at least 35Mbps internet speeds to get the full experience. Users that have at least a 10 Mbps connection will get a 720p experience but no latency issues. Users will be able to use the Stadia controller, which is said to directly connect to Stadia servers for the best performance. Stadia will also support other game controllers and mouse and keyboard setups.

At What Cost?

Google will offer Stadia at a $9.99/per month subscription fee for the Stadia Pro service. Stadia will also have the option to just purchase the games the want “a la carte”. When Stadia launches, they will introduce the Stadia Founder’s Edition that will come with a special Stadia Controller colorway, Chromecast Ultra, 3 Months of Stadia Pro with an extra code for a friend, and the complete Destiny 2 experience (base game, Curse of Osiris, Warmind, Forsaken, Forsaken Annual Pass, Shadowkeep and Shadowkeep Annual Pass) all for $129.99.

But Why?

Google aims to remove the potential high cost of entry for gamers. Rather than spending hundreds of dollars to purchase a console, or thousands on a personalized gaming PC, Google intends to give gamers the games they want to play on any device they may already own. Google also wants to give players the ability to play anywhere they have access to Chrome.
