Customer Ratings & Reviews

Average! Kind of slow! Connection takes time. Not very stable

It took me 25 hours to plug and play afterwards I didn’t want to play anymore. Back and forth with Bestbuy and Stadia trying to honor the redeem code. Stadia wanted to get credit card information to create an account to redeem the code. Worst experience ever

Setup was complicated and ran into many issues. Device requires a monthly subscription of $9.99 & an extra $14.99 to play ubisoft games, all games are cloud based & you’ll lose access when google shuts it down.

once you have good enough internet to stream games you will not be able to tell if you are playing a downloaded game or streaming it. its very seamless and easy to use. you literally get great games for subscribing for 10 dollars per month for pro, and you get good sales on the games you can buy, and say if you don't want to subscribe for a month you do not lose access to the games you purchase. (my main concern) but after using it for about 7 months now its my main (console) being able to switch between my tv with the chromecast, my phone when i'm out of the house, and my pc when i'm sitting at my desk. its just a wonderful product and service,. and i cannot wait to see what google improves in the near future. must purchase.

Since you cannot get consoles without giving up you're first born, I decided to join Stadia and give it a try on a computer at first using my xbox or ps4 controllers. I got a few games, MK11, NBA2k21, & Madden. I was very pleased. The game prices change often so just be patient. I decided to get the Stadia Premiere to play on my TV. Nothing special just a 49 in LG 1080p. After a bit of time in set up and syncing with the app on your smartphone, it should link to your stadia account. *It took a few tries and actually didn't work ultimately until I restarted my phone (iPhone 12). Once I got it going I was actually floored. There was virtually no difference IMO between Stadia and a $500 system. Or the difference is so minor it doesn't really matter. I played on wifi and didn't have lag once. MK11 is a fast game, and it played perfectly. My only gripe is the selection of games. They have a decent selection, but let.s be real, it is small. They do have new releases such as Far Cry 6 etc. I'm onboard to see where it goes. I say do it, it's really fun. AND you can cast your YT vids, Disney+ etc. to it. Also it CAN be used with an ethernet cable. Hope any of this helps.

Terrible product, runs slow , looks bad and you cannot hook any other controllers up to it unless you are using on pc but then you would just play pc games.

Stadia being discontinued, can no longer access games with hardware paid for beginning January 2023.

Got scammed by bestbuy. The 3 month code expired before I could use it. Called support who basically said you are screwed, apologies for the inconvenience.

It keeps getting disconnected from the ultra! That's just a hell of frustrating!

They shut it down and it will not be available after January next year.

X botton sticking after very little use. Working with google to get replacement. Not worth the trouble.

Exactly what I ordered but almost a week late. Paid for next day shipping and didn't get it.

Controller doesn't work. Very bad. Just blinks but never connects.

I love Stadia. I was a founder and have been playing it since launch. While it was a little rocky start, the service is now amazing and their library is constantly growing. They could still use a few more AAA games, but as long as your internet speeds are decent the service is stable, and works super well! Just to clear up the misconceptions: NO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SUBSCRIBE TO PLAY. You just have to purchase the games to keep them forever and play whenever you want, subscribing gives you 4k capability, HDR, and free games each month but is not required to play games you own on the platform. If you're happy with 1080p all you have to do is buy the game on their platform and then enjoy playing it across tons of devices including phones, laptops, tablets, and the Chromecast. I've honestly stopped investing in upgrading my gaming PC because of Stadia (hopefully they hook all the game devs in the future.) My favorite part of Stadia is being able to play everything at Ultra with no downloads, no updates, and playing on almost any device I want.

best controller I've ever owned sadly stadia shut down but still manually Bluetooth feature which lets you still use the controller

Stadia is the very best performing Cloud Gaming Platform on the market. There is no need to worry about Downloading, Installing, Patching, or Updating your games. You just jump in and play. There is so much that Stadia can do that other devices can't but I wont go into all that. Just do a bit of research and you will see. My friends are blown away by Stadia's performance just as I was, and still am. Try today for free and make your own decision. You might just find a whole new way to game.

I was a bit skeptical at first, but after using it for around a week, all of my concerns are gone! Very simple to set up and use. I love the fact I can play on my laptop as well as my chromecast. All I am missing now is an android phone haha.

Recently purchased the premier edition as part of the October 'Good stuff' sales event held by Google. I don't have a lot of time to game anymore, so it's been fantastic being able to play modern games for the cost of the unit and the game. The graphics and experience while playing shadow of a tomb raider has been excellent. The controller feels great in hand. Best part, you don't need a paid subscription to play my games or the newly released demos. Keep it up Google! Can't wait to see what Stadia has in store for the future.

I got my Stadia last week and have been playing it daily. It's working phenomenally well. You need a good internet connection/speed, but if you do this will more than likely work flawlessly. I only had a slight hiccup in terms of buffering on the first day and haven't had any in the days since playing games like Tomb Raider and Hitman. I'd highly recommend.

Skeptical at first, still needs a bigger library but it is definitely expanding.
