Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick shared his thoughts on Stadia in a talk at the Bernstein Annual Strategic Decisions Conference, GameSpot reported<\/a>. The executive, apparently, has not been impressed with the service.<\/p>\n

“Streaming technology is upon us,” said Zelnick. “The launch of Stadia has been slow. I think there was some overpromising on what the technology could deliver and some consumer disappointment as a result.”<\/p>\n

Zelnick added that Stadia is not the “game-changer” that Google said it would be. The service, when it launched in November 2019, was missing<\/a> several major features. When it rolled out, Stadia<\/a> was plagued with poor PC performance, latency issues, and a limited library of games.<\/p>\n

“Anytime you broaden distribution you potentially broaden your audience, which is why we supported the release of Stadia with three titles initially and will continue to support high-quality streaming services as long as the business model makes sense,” said Zelnick.<\/p>\n

While Take-Two will not withdraw support for Stadia despite its faults, Zelnick apparently believes that Stadia’s better days are ahead of it.<\/p>\n

“Over time I believe streaming will work… The belief that streaming was going to be transformative was based on a view that there were loads of people who really had an interest in interactive entertainment, really wanted to pay for it, but just didn’t want to have a console. I’m not sure that turned out to be the case.”<\/p>\n

Google Stadia Pro free trial<\/h2>\n

In April, Google Stadia Pro started offering a free two-month trial<\/a> to try to capitalize on a market where people are urged to stay at home to help curb the spread of the new coronavirus. After the trial, continued access to Stadia Pro and a library of free games, which include PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds<\/a><\/em>, Destiny 2: The Collection<\/em>, and GRID<\/em>, will cost $10 per month.<\/p>\n

Stadia supports Take-Two’s Red Dead Redemption 2<\/em>, one of the major titles in the service, in addition to Borderlands 3<\/em>, Final Fantasy XV<\/em>, Mortal Kombat 11<\/em>, and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey<\/em>, among others.<\/p>\n
