Stadia had a fairly big October, but one addition you may have missed was the arrival of game streaming over mobile data. Specifically, Google upgraded mobile data streaming from an experimental feature to a fully supported one, thereby allowing users to stream games over 4G and 5G, assuming they have access to 5G where they live. The question is: would you want to stream games over mobile data? Given the state of the mobile industry, we’re guessing that you probably don’t. Why? Google says that streaming games over mobile data could use as much as 2.7GB/hr. That doesn’t seem like a whole lot, especially when streaming in 4K to a desktop or a Chromecast Ultra can result in data usage of around 20GB/hr, but of course, home broadband connections and mobile data connections are not and have never been equal.
