Google Stadia is a cloud-based gaming platform developed by Google. It only requires a decent internet connection, no additional hardware is required like GPU. Google plans on ending the console era of gaming and change it into cloud gaming. You can play your favorite games using Chrome cast Ultra or your phone or your laptop. The Google Stadia platform is free to join. However, you need to purchase the game first from the Stadia Store. It can deliver 4K HDR/60 fps at a 35 Mbps internet connection. Also, you need to purchase a Google Stadia Premiere bundle in order to use it on your Android phone. However, the first month is free after that you will be charged 9.99$ per month.
