    • What do you like about Stadia?
      • I like that I can use almost any device to play games and my saved games are always available on any device. I can even play with my work laptop, because I don't have to install anything. I also really like that I can easily share games to all six family members in my Google family group.

    • What device(s) do you use?
      • Usually I play using TV and Chromecast ultra. If I can't use the TV then I play with my work laptop.

    • What do you think of the performance?
      • Game performance is good. Network quality has big effect on the image quality. With my home router the quality is usually good, but if there's a lot of other traffic then the image quality might drop sometimes.

    • Which games have you tried?
      • I got the code for 3 months of Stadia Pro. I have been playing Mafia 3 and PUBG. Trine 4 was fun co-op game. I also tried many other games, but there's too little time to really play them all.

    • Anything you wish for Stadia to do differently or more?
      • I wish Stadia tried to get more popular games. My kids would like to play Fortnite and Minecraft.

    @Kenraali Hi thanks for your comments! Interesting to hear about how you like Stadia. I also actually use it mostly on TV/Chromecast Ultra at the moment. I'm a PC gamer mainly but I do miss gaming on the bigger screen so this fills that gap nicely (I don't have consoles at the moment). 👍

    Great to hear you found the 3-months code useful. True, 3 months you can try out a lot but would need more time to properly get into the games you actually want to stick with. Are you thinking of continuing with Stadia beyond the 3-months trial? Or you're waiting for those games you mentioned? 😊

    Minecraft is actually my current favourite (I have Xbox Game Pass - it's available there). Do you play too or is it just the kids? 😎

    Haven't tried it but considering @Kenraali's feedback, maybe it should be in the running rather than a new rig.

    It's nice to be able to use Stadia in low configuration. I am using a desktop. I tried Wreckfest and Hitman. I think the performance is good. I would love to play games on my computer.

    Thank you...

    Stadia fits perfect to my current situation….a former gamer, now a father of two kids.

    Without a pc/console, i wanted to revive my gamer past, without spending alot of €. Stadia is just perfect, you can play any game (available) without spending big € for a performant pc. I love to play quick game sessions on the tv and we saved the space for a tower pc/console too 😬

    Due to a 💩 wifi connection, i switched too lan and now its perfect.

    i am still waiting for a Stadia pro code from lenovo (nearly 1 month) to test other games, but i enjoyed hitman alot so far.

    I think cloud gaming is/should be the future
