Google Stadia is a game streaming service that lets you play games on a number of devices by streaming through the cloud.

The "Leaving Stadia Pro Soon" may raise some red flags, but we believe that it's just a category where it shows you that the games you can redeem for the month before it's too late. Let's hope this doesn't mean that gamers will lose access to Claimed titles like Destiny 2, Samurai Shodown, Farming Simulator 19: Platinum Edition, and Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition. However, only time will tell.
The other notable categories have to be Demos and Trials. This is a great way for many gamers to test our Stadia before committing to the service. Let's hope these features roll out sooner rather than later.
A good way to start
This bundle includes everything you need to get started with Stadia. It includes the controller, Chromecast Ultra, Destiny 2, Samurai Shodown, and three months of the Stadia Pro subscription for you and a friend. It's a great way to begin your game streaming journey.
UHD streaming
You can buy everything together or you can get just the basics for Stadia. The Chromecast Ultra is available to purchase now and lets you stream 4K TV as well as play games.
A firm grip on what's needed
The Stadia Controller is all you need to use Stadia if you already have the Chromecast Ultra. You can also use it on your other devices. Get the Wasabi colored one, it's gorgeous.
