The price of Google Stadia has been revealed, which will have a free basic version, a Pro version of € 9.99 and a Founders Edition version of € 129.
The Google Stadia presentation was quite basic and lasted barely 30 minutes (it didn't even arrive). The official price for the platform will be €9.99 for access to 4K @ 60FPS games with HDR and 5.1 Surround sound, for what they've called Stadia Pro. Everyone with a Google account will be able to access a basic Stadia experience at 1080p @ 60FPS. The problem: it seems the games will have to be purchased separately.

Required connection for Google Stadia
Google is aware that not everyone has the same internet, so they have introduced three levels of graphic quality for Google Stadia. The most basic will be 720p stereo for minimum 10Mbps connections. For 1080p @ 60FPS video quality with HDR and 5.1 Surround 20Mbps will be required. For those who want 4K @ 60FPS with HDR and 5.1 Surround 36Mbps or more will be needed.
They are quite adaptive requirements and they are fine. It painted that a more powerful internet line would be needed, but not really. What we don't know is how the ping issue will go, something very important.
Arrival of Google Stadia
As indicated by Google Stadia Pro and Stadia Founders Edition will arrive in November. The basic version of Stadia will arrive in 2020. So if you want to check out, you will be the first to have access to this new Cloud Gaming platform.
