Google faces competition from several gaming and tech companies planning similar streaming services, and must show game makers that streaming is financially viable despite stumbles with some of its earlier initiatives in gaming. The limited-quantity Founder's Edition package, available across 14 North American and European countries, will be the only way users can play at launch, Google said. They include three months of what Google calls Stadia Pro, a special edition gaming controller, a Chromecast Ultra streaming media stick for TVs and the ability to gift Stadia Pro to a friend. Stadia Pro, priced at US$9.99 (RM42) a month, will include free and discounted games, according to Google. Stadia Base, a separate free tier launching next year, will stream at video quality up to 1080p compared to 4K for Stadia Pro, Google said.
