Find the best Google Stadia price across all sales in the run up to launch.
While the Google Stadia price is dependent on the subscription you purchase, there are also various pieces of hardware you might want to pick up before Google fully rolls out Stadia. For the full experience, players will need a Google Chromecast Ultra, Stadia controller, and a controller to use with their PC or mobile device. It’s not exactly the «console-less» gaming experience we’ve been promised so far, but if you already have these items, the cost is reduced significantly. If you don’t already known a Chromecast Ultra or secondary controller, you’ll want to pick them up before Google unleashes the service fully.
A basic subscription is free if you just want to purchase games, but the Stadia Pro subscription will cost $9.99/£8.99 a month. Currently, the service is only live for those who purchased the pre-order packs, but Google will be rolling out the system fully within the year. If you want to be at the forefront of this public roll-out, you’ll want to pick up your gear while it’s still relatively cheap.
The basic Google Stadia experience doesn’t require a subscription; players can purchase games as they please through their Google Chromecast, mobile device, or laptop and stream them as and when. The Stadia Pro subscription, however, is the main product. Patrons receive Google Stadia sales discounts on the games they want to purchase as well as up to 4K resolution with 5.1 surround sound options on those games. Members will also enjoy free games in a model similar to that of Xbox Games Pass and PlayStation Plus, all included in the Google Stadia price.
To play your Google Stadia games on your TV, you will need a Chromecast however. Check out our best prices on the latest Google Chromecast Ultra model, which is the only model Google will be supporting with Stadia.
If you are looking to play Google Stadia games on your TV, you’ll also need a Google Stadia controller, available for $69 in the US and £59 in the UK. The proprietary handset will provide you access to all the integrated Google sharing options that have been built into the Stadia experience, and is the only controller the Chromecast will recognize.
