Hands on with Crayta, an ambitious Stadia exclusive that will certainly die without a strong creator community
If you build it, they must come

Zach Laidlaw

Crayta, the latest exclusive title for Stadia, is perhaps the most ambitious project to hit Google's cloud gaming service since it launched in late 2019. Instead of being guided by a central storyline or rigid set of mechanics, Crayta is an “anything goes” online platform where players can both play and build their own unique games. Like any good multiplayer experience, Crayta needs a strong player base right out of the gate for it to succeed, a stake that's raised even higher amid this title's launch-day limitations. I've been playing Crayta for a full a week, and here are my thoughts.

Also, it's been 8 months and they're STILL calling it 'premiere?'

Jules Wang

Matthew Sholtz

The Stadia Team has just published a community blog post that details a plethora of new features that are already available on the platform or are rolling out shortly. Today's most significant addition is the support for all Android phones, including a handful of OnePlus devices that were named specifically. On top of this, Google has released support for touch controls in all games as well as compatibility for per-device resolution options.

Stadia Pro members get more than 50% off Borderlands 3 and the latest Tomb Raider titles
Last week's deals are still available, too

Manuel Vonau

While Stadia's free tier is finally available to everyone, Pro users (and those who have just signed up for the free two-month trial) still benefit from perks like 4K gaming and free games. There are also weekly deals on some titles, so the Pro tier is easily worth its $10 price. This week, you have the chance to grab Borderlands 3, which had been available at a discount before, and the two newest Tomb Raider titles for up to 67% off.

Manuel Vonau

Google hasn't announced Stadia in a vacuum; game streaming services have been in the works for years, with varying degrees of success.

Thus, it comes as no surprise that Microsoft on Tuesday announced the public preview of its own remote gaming service xCloud, available starting next month.

Manuel Vonau

The Doom series is among the best-known video games in the world, so it's great to see that Google managed to secure the rights for the latest title in the installment — in fact, this is the game Stadia has been hyping even before the service itself launched. Today, Doom Eternal has finally landed on the platform, along with being released on most other common consoles and stores.

Matthew Sholtz

Now that Activision Blizzard and Bethesda have both pulled their titles from the Nvidia GeForce Now game streaming service, 2K is the next developer to join in on the fun. Nvidia recently made a post on its forum to announce that 2K's titles have indeed been removed from the streaming service, though it would appear that Nvidia is working with 2K Games to re-enable the removed titles in the future.
