Google is close from another Stadia launch event, where it’s promising to detail launch games, pricing, and availability. Kotaku reports that a Canadian newspaper has spilled the details a little early. Google’s Stadia game streaming service will reportedly launch in November, priced at $11.99 Canadian dollars ($9) per month.
For this subscription you’ll get access to a few free games, but it looks like Google will be selling most titles, especially new ones, in a store model. Many had hoped Google would launch a “Netflix for video games” service, but this looks like an interim gap before it’s available to secure top games for a monthly subscription.
Google is also reportedly launching a free version of Stadia next year, and this will allow users to stream games at 1080p. The regular subscription will provide 4K / 60fps streaming, and you’ll need a minimum internet connection that can support 10Mbps. Google’s press event is due to begin at 12PM ET / 9AM PT today, so we’ll likely get a lot more information about the company’s Stadia plans very shortly.
