Sorry Bud, But GOOGLE STADIA Is Not The Netflix of Games You Were Hoping For

Many potential Google Stadia users had thought the platform would become the Netflix of games, but as it stands right now, that's not the case.

Many might believe that Google Stadia is the Netflix of games, but such isn't the case according to Google themselves. This is something more along the lines of Xbox Live Gold and PlayStation Plus than anything else.

Stadia's product director, Andrey Doronichev, made this very clear during a recent Reddit Q&A with the fans. Distancing the platform from being compared to Netflix was one of the goals, and Google appears to have solved that problem.

"To be clear, Stadia Pro is not 'Netflix for games' like some people have mentioned," Doronichev explained. "A closer comparison would be like Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus. The Pro subscribers get 4K/HDR streaming, 5.1 sound, exclusive discounts and access to some free games. Roughly one free game per month, give or take. Starting with Destiny 2 (yay!)."


If you're wondering what Stadia Pro is, well, it's a subscription service that delivers everything listed above. However, subscribers are still required to pay the full cost of every game despite having to pay $9 per month.

Google Stadia is set to make its permanent mark on the gaming industry when it becomes available on November 2019.
