Google has made Stadia free to use for those who want to play video games while stuck at home.
Google announced this on its official blog. It said video games were a “valuable way” to socialize with friends & family when stuck at home. Starting today, it had decided to give gamers in 14 countries free access to Stadia Pro for 2 months.
Anyone who signs up will get access to 9 games, including GRID, Destiny 2: The Collection, & Thumper. Users can purchase even more games on the store, which will remain yours to play even if you cancel your Stadia Pro subscription.
If you’re already a paid Stadia Pro subscriber, Google will not charge you for the next 2 months. After that, Stadia Pro is $9.99 a month, but you can opt out of your subscription at any time.
