Google detailed its vision for the future of gaming last week, when it confirmed that its new game streaming service Stadia will be launched in November. A Founder’s Edition pack went for pre-order immediately for $130, including a 3-month subscription, an exclusive controller, and a Buddy Pass to take someone along for the initiation ride. After that period, the price will be ten bucks a month for streams at up to 4K resolution at 60fps. 

While there were glitches due to some device poisoning the Wi-fi frequency and Microsoft had to reroute the connection, the games apparently played smooth and latency didn’t get in the way. 

Mum’s the word on iOS support for xCloud when it lands in October, but Google’s Stadia may have a hard time getting ahead if the Xbox and PlayStation franchises reorient towards cross-platform streaming as well.
