The world has quite literally transformed into one big Gaming community. The recent restrictions put up on the population has forced many (millions if not billions) to stay home. Not everyone has a WFH Work From Home option as part of their jobs. So what do they do? Go big on their digital devices, this is binge-to-the-max. Because you may take humans away from other humans (through Social distancing) but you can’t take the social animal out of them.
This led to recent spurts in use of online streaming and gaming services. You can visit Twitch channels and notice that its not limited to Teen audiences only. Even Steam, the most popular online gaming platform reported a whopping 20 million simultaneous users, during present times. These surely are unprecedented times.
Tech giant Google does not miss out on the opportunity to gain users for their cloud gaming platform. They launched 2 months free Stadia subscription (sign up for Stadia for free on stadia.google.com) to anyone who has a gmail address (which almost everyone who uses email has). Google Stadia features the best high resolution and graphics-intensive games that can be played across multiple devices. No need to buy costly gaming console like a PS4, Nintendo Switch or Xbox. You can play the same game from your Laptop, your ChromeCast Ultra enabled TV, or your Google Pixel (or other compatible android phones).
Google Stadia free games on the 2 months free account include – Destiny 2 (The Collection), Serious Sam 2, GRID, GYLT, SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech, etc.
You would need any of the mentioned devices and a high speed internet connection (with unlimited data ofcourse).
You’ll need a controller to play games using your Smartphone. You can by-pass the requirement of a controller using TouchStadia.
A word of caution on your gameplay history on the free account. The users might not be able to keep nay of the free games available in their free Stadia subscription. Noentheless if you paid for any of the games and purchase them into your Stadia account, you will be able to play those without any worries even after expiry of 2 month free period. And although paid subscribers enjoy upto 4K resolutions, the free account resolutions are being throttled down to a max of 1080p.
