Stadia has worked for me since the very first day. Extremely easy setup. No issues. Whether it was CCU/TV or Chromebooks or PC. For the initial setup. That is because I already had 2.4ghz and 5ghz WiFi already separates I had my dns set to googles and I have no data cap mixed with 1gb internet speed. The only problem I had was the first day my controller would randomly disconnect. I was able to have 4 stadia running at once in my house with no hiccups. It was amazing. As for the actual setup and streaming it works great. I would recommend to all. Turn off HDR when first starting stadia because it sucks at the moment.
Now for graphics. The graphics are good. But not great. Some have higher FPS than others it would seem. But that is due to game devs porting. It feels like each game should have its view distance turned down because it just artifacts most of the time. But that could be because stream compression or poor optimization.
Now for input lag. Playing destiny 2 and division 2 I don’t experience anything noticeable. (I play competitive pc games moba/CS go/siege). Assassins creed feels extremely clunky for some reason. And metro exodus feels terrible and disappointing. But I believe they both feel terrible because they are poorly ported not utilizing stadias actual hardware.
Now for multiplayer.. I would not buy a single multiplayer game unless it has crossplay otherwise you will rarely find a match until population expands. I have returned a few game’s due to lack of multiplayer community. Division 2 is what will be grabbing most of my stadia play(multiplayer) because of the crossplay. Matchmaking has been instant!!.
The state of actual games releasing. I am a very patient person and I am actually extremely happy with how games are releasing. AAA games and indie games. I am not much of a indie gamer but I will absolutely try them because I never know if I may find a hidden gem. Such as gylt. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I expected a lot less games and have had low expectations since it was such a low investment.
I think division 2s release of crossplay was a huge turning point for stadias multiplayer. It’s great and I believe this cloud console can thrive with advancements in every direction. Especially with WiFi 6 speed and 5g Incoming.
I do believe google will keep the games coming that is the easy part. The player base and our societal development are the 2 biggest factors. For example. My city has delayed and actually taken down a few 5g towers because the city doesn’t want them. I am unsure why. And many places still have data caps and many people game wirelessly so until WiFi 6 is the standard in homes and all devices support it that will be an issue. Because the current AC WiFi sucks for stadia.
