[ad_1] It’s worth noting that market share is a relative metric and a number of factors are in play, including a larger overall audience on these services — viewers watched 1.19 billion hours across the four of them in December, up from 1.06 billion a year earlier. The report suggests that Facebook Gaming’s growth is […]

Stadia Pro’s free January games are ‘Rise of the Tomb Raider’ and ‘Thumper’

[ad_1] The shuffle will bring Stadia Pro’s total bonus catalog to five games. That’s certainly better than what Google offered on launch, but it still leaves a core problem unaddressed: the selection of freebies isn’t particularly strong. There’s neither an abundance of games nor any must-haves. Of course, that’s part of why Stadia will have […]

Adidas and Ninja’s sneaker collab goes on sale December 31st

[ad_1] The Ninja Nite Jogger features a mesh and leather upper in the gamer’s signature blue. The medial sides of shoes are printed with “Ninja” and “Time In” text graphics on top of a pattern of crossed shurikens. Using the Nite Jogger as a base is a weird pull; the silhouette isn’t nearly as popular […]

Stadia vs. xCloud: How these game-streaming services stack up

[ad_1] Most of the testing I’ve done has been on my home WiFi network, which averages 30Mbps to 40Mbps down and just under 10Mbps up. This is just within the connectivity ranges that both Google and Microsoft recommend for high-quality streams. Stadia runs on a handful of platforms: Pixel phones, tablets and laptops via the […]

Stadia hits Google’s Play Store ahead of its debut this month

‘Red Dead Redemption 2’ will be a Google Stadia launch title

It’s also likely the closest you’ll get to having a mobile version of Rockstar’s modern games, at least for a while. RDR2 simply demands too much processing power and storage from current […]

Project xCloud’s first public trial hits Android devices in October

[ad_1] First, this isn’t the console streaming that Microsoft promised players at E3 2019. In theory, that service will allow folks to stream games from their own Xboxes to their mobile devices, essentially giving each player a personal xCloud server. It’s a feature that sets xCloud apart from its streaming competitors, most notably Google Stadia. […]
