Cyberpunk 2077 on Google Stadia is considered one of the best ways to play the highly anticipated video game. How did this happen? Stadia is surging right now because CD Projekt Red created broken versions of the game for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. But to suggest that Stadia lucked into this position is simply wrong. Stadia has been built to handle spec-intensive games like Cyberpunk 2077. Even if PS4 and Xbox One ran the game well, Stadia is still delivering on its value proposition. If Stadia didn’t work, it would be suffering in the headlines just as PS4 and Xbox One are right now. But it’s not, because Google Stadia works. CD Projekt Red’s failure to make a game that can play on last-gen consoles has allowed Stadia to shine. It didn’t make Stadia better. Stadia has been good for a long time. What do I think should Stadia do now? Honestly, nothing. Stadia should keep doing what it’s doing. Continue providing a solid service. Continue adding games. Expand the service to even more countries. Take this Cyberpunk 2077 bump as a windfall. Remember, Stadia was giving away controllers and chromecast ultras before the news of the broken game broke. They already saw Cyberpunk 2077’s release as an event to build a campaign around. Any change in course due to this windfall is a deviation from the long-term plans and would likely compromise those plans. Mentioned:
