Google also offers Stadia Pro for $10 per month with access to some free games and higher resolution streaming rates. Stadia requires an internet connection of 10Mb/s or more, and while it's free to use, some games must be purchased. Google first launched Stadia a year ago in November 2019, allowing subscribers to play cloud-based games on compatible laptops, PCs, Macs, phones, and tablets. Cloud gaming had a bit of a rocky start on iOS, but Mac services such as Google Stadia and Nvidia GeForce Now have been able to deliver games that might otherwise not be available on macOS to. Stadia can be added to the Home screen and launched like a traditional app by visiting the website, tapping on the share button, and choosing the 'Add to Home Screen' option. The Stadia experience on iOS is similar to Stadia on Android, and the web app supports playing and purchasing games. Google says that the Safari gameplay experience is still in development, and additional features and performance improvements will be added going forward as it gathers user experience data. It supports all kinds of popular games, like NBA 2K21, DOOM Eternal, Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and more. The new progressive web version of Google Stadia is able to be run through the Safari web browser, and it is available in a public beta capacity. Google was not able to bring Stadia to iOS through a dedicated app because of Apple's restrictions on cloud gaming services, so Google had to find a workaround.
