But analysts say Stadia’s outlook is uncertain as it faces rivals such as PlayStation Now in an emerging and highly-competitive market. Stadia Pro subscriptions, priced at US$10 a month in the US, will be available in 14 countries in North America and Europe.But analysts say Stadia could wind up as another “bet” that Google walks away from if it fails to live up to expectations.“The announced 12 launch titles are underwhelming.”

“These shortcomings however would be easily overlooked if Google can deliver a very reliable and high-quality game streaming service.” “From what I have seen, their plans are too deep; they are too good, and they are too invested,” Early said. “They are not calling it quits any time soon.”“If there is a one-day problem at launch, it isn’t the end of the world; it isn’t even close,” he said, stressing the potential for Stadia to let people play without investing in consoles.“The right model is pay as you go or pay for the game and play unlimited without a subscription,” Pachter said.
