Enter mobile analytics firm Sensor Tower, which is now estimating (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-google-stadia\/google-stadia-gains-users-after-giving-free-access-for-two-months-idUSKCN224386\">via Reuters<\/a>) that 1 million people have installed the Stadia app across iOS and Android.<\/p>\n<p>Mobile app downloads aren&#8217;t a perfect analogue for actual Stadia usage. People can download the free app on Android or iOS to browse Stadia&#8217;s offerings without signing up for the service, for instance (and the iOS version doesn&#8217;t even support direct game streaming currently). Some Stadia users might also ignore the mobile apps in favor of playing exclusively via browser or a Chromecast Ultra. And app downloads tell us nothing about how much time users are spending playing Stadia, or if they&#8217;re sticking with the service after their initial download.<\/p>\n<p>All that said, the app download numbers provide a good rough estimate for how many people have even tested Stadia&#8217;s streaming offerings. Sensor Tower&#8217;s new 1 million download estimate is up quite a bit from the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2020\/04\/08\/google-makes-stadia-pro-free-for-two-months\/\">750,000 total Stadia app downloads the firm estimated earlier in April<\/a>, just before the free tier rolled out.<\/p>\n<p>That recent growth is faster than the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gamedaily.biz\/article\/1417\/report-google-stadia-app-was-downloaded-only-175000-times-at-launch-sensor-tower\">estimated 175,000 Stadia app downloads<\/a>&nbsp;Google saw in the two weeks after its November launch. That&#8217;s not too surprising, since the launch audience was limited by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gaming\/2019\/06\/google-stadia-requires-130-upfront-10-per-month-at-november-launch\/\">a $130 upfront payment requirement<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gaming\/2019\/10\/google-cant-fulfill-all-stadia-pre-orders-for-nov-19-launch\/\">Google&#8217;s struggles to fulfill all of its initial Stadia pre-orders<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Free trial lookie-loos?<\/h2>\n<p>There are already some signs that the fresh burst of &#8220;free access&#8221; interest in Stadia is dropping off a bit, though.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.appannie.com\/apps\/google-play\/app\/20600012620776\/rank-history\/?vtype=day&amp;countries=US&amp;view=rank&amp;legends=22&amp;date=2020-03-25~2020-04-23\">Data from App Annie<\/a>&nbsp;shows the Android version of the Stadia app peaking at #17 in Google Play&#8217;s &#8220;Entertainment&#8221; category on April 10, before starting a precipitous fall to #181 as of April 22.

For contrast, both&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gaming\/2013\/11\/dont-read-too-much-into-the-ps4s-million-day-one-sales\/\">Sony<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gaming\/2013\/11\/dont-read-too-much-into-xbox-ones-million-day-one-sales-either\/\">Microsoft<\/a>&nbsp;announced a million sales of their new consoles in their first weekend after launching in late 2013.<\/p>\n<p>After the initial two-month Stadia Pro trial is complete, free tier users will be limited to 1080p streaming resolution, stereo sound, and non-HDR colors. Signing up for the $10\/month Pro subscription also gives instant access to a library of nine streaming games; otherwise, Stadia games need to be purchased individually. Stadia users need to purchase a Chromecast Ultra and Wi-Fi enabled Stadia controller to play on a TV.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gaming\/2020\/01\/google-stadias-latest-free-game-only-has-a-few-thousand-total-players\/\">An Ars analysis from January<\/a>&nbsp;found only a few thousand players had accessed that month&#8217;s free edition of&nbsp;<em>Thumper<\/em>&nbsp;on their Stadia Pro accounts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"xrail\">\n<div class=\"xrail-content\">\n<aside class=\"ad ad_xrail ad_xrail_top\" aria-label=\"Top sidebar advertisement\" data-ad-height=\"276\">\n<div id=\"cns-ads-slot-type-siderail-0\" class=\"cns-ads-stage cns-ads-slot-type-siderail cns-ads-slot-type-siderail-0 cns-ads-slot-state-filled cns-ads-slot-size-300x250\" data-name=\"siderail_0\" data-slot-type=\"siderail\">\n<div id=\"siderail_0\" class=\"cns-ads-container\" data-google-query-id=\"CPi8uKfMgOkCFYLGUQodoIUPtw\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gaming\/2020\/04\/stadia-launches-free-tier-including-two-month-trial-of-stadia-pro\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gaming\/2020\/04\/stadia-launches-free-tier-including-two-month-trial-of-stadia-pro\/<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>KYLE ORLAND<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>KYLE ORLAND\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But new mobile app downloads already down significantly from early April peak.
