There were occasions when the graphics became blurry, but they were few and far between. Destiny 2 renders at 1080p and upscales to 4K I couldn’t reap the benefits of (pseudo) 4K resolution on my 1080p TV, but Destiny 2 on Stadia looked familiar to me. It looked great too, but only after I bumped up the brightness within the actual game. Load times were also significantly shorter on Google’s device. There were some differences Being the PC version of Destiny 2, it ran at a higher frame rate on Stadia than on thePS4.

Playing Destiny 2 felt normal and was effectively the same as on PS4. Google also offers Stadia Pro for $10 per month with access to some free games and higher resolution streaming rates.Īccording to Google, more than 80 games have been added to Stadia over the last year, and starting soon, Google will be offering free-to-play content even for non subscribers.I've sunk hours into Destiny 2 on PlayStation 4, so I could tell if the Stadia version had input lag.

Stadia requires an internet connection of 10Mb/s or more, and while it's free to use, games must be purchased. Google launched Stadia one year ago today, allowing subscribers to play cloud-based games on compatible laptops, PCs, Macs, phones, and tablets. Just today, NVIDIA announced browser support for its streaming gaming service GeForce NOW, with plans to bring Fortnite back to iOS devices.

Microsoft is also developing a web-based version of its xCloud gaming service, and Amazon's Luna game service works on iOS devices using the web browser. Google is working on a progressive web version of Stadia that will run on Safari, and a public beta test will be available in the coming weeks. Submitting hundreds of games to the ‌App Store‌ is so far not something any cloud gaming service has wanted to do, and those services are instead opting for web access. Since launch, Google has not been able to bring Stadia to iOS devices because of Apple's restrictions on cloud gaming services.Īpple in August said that cloud gaming services were allowed on the App Store, but that each individual game must be submitted to be reviewed by Apple's ‌App Store‌ team. Google today announced that Stadia, its cloud gaming service, will be coming to iPhone and iPad in the near future through an upcoming web app.
