What you need to know

  • Google Stadia is a game streaming service that launched a few weeks ago.
  • Beforehand, the store was limited to smartphone apps.
  • Now you can buy games directly through the Stadia website.
  • Just click on the tab and follow the prompts to pay for the game.

Beforehand Google Stadia relies on a smartphone app to let players buy games. However, that changed an hour ago. Now, you can go to the Stadia website and simply click on the tab that says "Store" to be redirected to it. We were able to buy a couple of games through Google Chrome on Windows 10.

The process is incredibly easy and exactly what you would do in the app. It's honestly really great to see that Google is continuously adding features to the service. Hopefully, it'll bring achievements to the platform next. What do you want to see? Let us know.
