Wait, does this work differently than nVidia's service? If I buy a game on Steam, can't I use it on my home computer and Stadia with no extra cost? nVidia's system allows you to install your home Steam copies.Well then that will just be the death of the platform.
At least with XBox Live I had an option to play games locally offline. I swear executives just aren't thinking these days.
- TCO will be higher by time you pay $10/month for streaming.
- You can no longer access game when you cancel subscription.
- AAA Gaming on small devices just isn't viable with the same kind of quality. (WiFi Bandwidth limits & lag)
- AAA Gaming on portable devices may not be viable due to missing gamepad/keyboard/mouse.
I was under the impression Google will hold your library. How can you download a game locally for PC play if they have the code on the cloud alone? Or am I mistaken?Actually you can play the game even if you cancel subscription. You just don´t get 4K stream.
This is very sensible if you don´t have Gaming Computer. You essentially ”rent” rendering power that you don`t own. Very good to gamers that play on their TV, phone, or other weaker mobile device. This is not to PC master race gamers, we have good rendering power without Stadia![]()
Everything I have read points to no. You have to buy a stadia game to play on stadia. Your Steam games do not get transferred over/streamed to you. So Nvidia's set up is better in that you get a steam copy for offline play and a streamable copy on their servers for device streaming.Wait, does this work differently than nVidia's service?

No you can't download a game no but the free version of Stadia allows for 1080P 60 FPS 5.1 gaming. You just lose the ability to stream 4K60 FPS 5.1 if you go with the free version.I was under the impression Google will hold your library.
