Practically every major Ubisoft release over the last two years has launched simultaneously on Stadia, and Ubisoft+ subscribers have access to the full library of Ubisoft Stadia games as a free perk. Ubisoft is clearly one of the biggest supporters of Stadia. This is what makes Stadia my last resort instead of my first choice for new games, and I was really hoping to see more improvement after two years. And while that promise is true, there’s a serious compromise made to performance in most cases, particularly when it comes to Ubisoft games. As GPUs continue to get scalped for over $1,000 and next-gen consoles remain completely unavailable, Stadia gives players the opportunity to play the latest and greatest games when they otherwise couldn’t afford to. Playing Doom Eternal in 4K at 60fps on a decade-old toaster sounds like witchcraft, and would make gaming a lot more accessible to a massive group of players. Above all else, what really made me a Stadia believer was the promise of the superior performance that cloud gaming can offer. The ability to play your games anywhere without a dedicated gaming device or subscription is unparalleled, while features like Crowd Play, State Share, and Phone Link use cutting-edge technology that have the potential to move the industry forward and change the way we play games forever. Stadia promised a lot of things that no other platform could offer.
