Don’t call Stadia Pro “Netflix for games”, Google has insisted. Instead, it’s more like Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus.
In a reddit AMA, Andrey Doronichev, director of product for Stadia at Google responded to a question about the free game situation with the upcoming paid subscription streaming service, “as it is confusing due to mixed messages”.
“To be clear, Stadia Pro is not ‘Netflix for Games’ like some people have mentioned,” Doronichev replied.
“A closer comparison would be like Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus. The Pro subscribers get 4K/HDR streaming, 5.1 sound, exclusive discounts and access to some free games. Roughly one free game per month give or take. Starting with Destiny 2 (yay!).”
