For reasons unknown, Google will change their Stadia Pro trial structure tomorrow to give new players who sign up only one month for free instead of two. It could be due to the fact that I held on to two Stadia Buddy Passes and failed to give them away, saddening the Stadia gods in the process. If you’ve even been remotely interested in trying Stadia Pro, but haven’t for some reason or another, now is the time. ‘Get it before it’s gone’, as they say. You’ll still receive the following games to enjoy upon sign up:
Zombie Army 4: Dead War
The Turing Test
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – Pioneer Edition
Stacks on Stacks (On Stacks)
SteamWorld Heist
Serious Sam Collection
SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech
SteamWorld Dig 2
Spitlings
Destiny 2: The Collection
Gylt
GRID
Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid
Little Nightmares
Get Packed
Superhot
Panzer Dragoon
Just as a reminder, Stadia offers the ability to stream games directly to your favorite compatible devices, just like you already do with music and movies, so your games are ready the moment you decide to play them, without waiting for installs, downloads, or updates. I’ve found myself playing more often when utilizing this Power Support “CLAW” accessory from Amazon which we’ll review down the line for you. Luckily, it’s only $14.99, so it’s not a great investment to see if it helps you get more game time due to its accessibility.
If you want to see a complete list of Stadia games that currently exist, along with games that are listed as ‘coming soon’, you can check them out HERE. If you want to try the service for free for a month, but don’t want to put out for the Stadia Premiere Edition, you can use an existing compatible phone and gamepad, a Chromecast Ultra connected TV or a laptop or desktop of your choice.
