Cyberpunk 2077 gets a bespoke port for the Stadia platform, meaning that it’s not an enhanced last-gen version – as is the case on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. While not the best way to play the game, it’s certainly a fully viable contender – and it’s light years beyond the flawed last-gen versions. Oh, and did we mention that in many cases, it’s actually more detailed than the Series X version?

What car is he in?
This is the most contrived set up possible and something that 0.0001% of the population is likely to do.
Got a FAIR comparison us a normal set up : Home connection with a handful of devices on a chrome cast Ultra.
….just plug in the ethernet man…
Its like you went out of your way to find a setup for Stadia that seemed adequate but you knew it would perform less good than a wired connection. Obviously the next gen consoles should perform better but your analysis of Stadia's performance is simply flawed. Do better.
3:22 8.28 GB a second? You mean an hour lol
My eyes must be going because i couldn't tell any difference with anything apart from the odd little blur in the distance and other shit that no one playing a game is really paying attention to.
Sooo… You need a stable 10Mbs for it to run
25 Mbs for 4k
Maybe a tad more.. you don't need that nonsense to park next to a cell tower to make it work
Key word stable….get a nice router and you are gucci
I love that no where in the comparison they mention the price
You are comparing a $600 console to a $0 dollar console
So yeah
ONE of the biggest games of 2020 More like BIGGEST FLOP of 2020
Man. That car LOD on the beggining shouldn't even exist LOL
I'm not sure why people are still trying to make Stadia work….. Games as a service is a garbage concept and it always will be.
how does it look on a CRT tho
I am lucky enough to have synchronous gigabit fiber at home. Running stadia pro on 4k tv through chromecast ultra wired via ethernet. Essentially ideal setup and let me tell you, the experience is tremendous. I am 100% sure it competes with whatever xbox and playstation are putting out there
No “infamous corner” comparison? 🙁
60mbit/s?! I have 1000mbit/s at home
I have a decent cable internet connection with a Chromecast Ultra on 4K TV and i'm really enjoying playing this and Assassins Creed on Stadia Pro. Looks great and plays really well. Got the Chromecast Ultra and Stadia controller free with Cyberpunk, really impressed and practically free.
The actual condition is be at home, on ur toilet seat. Running stadia on WiFi that is far away from ur wifi point but u hope u may get a good connection.
U don't play stadia if u r not on ur toilet seat.
It really is impressive how well it works in basically the worst possible circumstances.
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, last gen consoles need a reduction in resolution to target 30fps better
XB1X: 1102-1295p
PS4P: 1081-1188p
PS4: 901-1079p
XB1S: 720-899p
Do not attempt to play on the OG base XB1
Es patético que agais una revew de stadia i no la pongais a prueba en buenas condiciones
How on earth did they have so much trouble finding a stable internet connection in the uk. And in London of all places.
Oh wait. So you're saying your home connection is worse than a 60 mb/s 4G network? Damn, UK internet is really poor…
Could you please stop promoting this joke of a streaming platform and focus more on the contenders like GeForce Now.
I appreciate the work you put into this video, but do you really hold up the dropped frames against a game streaming service while you were playing on WIFI??
I dont know how things are in the UK, but even I can access a stable 1Gb wired connection without dropped packets, and I live on the wrong side of Europe.
Cyberpunk on my Chromecast Ultra (Stadia) linked to my 4K tv is beautiful ?
bruh, they deserve monetary contribution by me and anybody who watches this
Sooooo, all that money Google spent on hardware, filling a room or several rooms, and they're already out of date. How on earth do developers afford game development PCs, and for an entire office? And they can afford what Google can't….. I don't get it. And what's with the teslation effects? The steering wheel isn't perfectly round, looks more like an octogon.
How is anything below a locked 60 fps even a thing on the Stadia platform?
Where in the UK does this guy live or work that he can't get a 60mbps connection at home i live in a small town and i can get 74mbps and to be honest that still to slow makes me appreciate the work even more if that's what the guy has to work with.
lol !!! does stadia still alive ???
Stadia is running a port from pc while series x is running a port from xbox one of course its looks better on stadia
You just made me realize I don’t have to wait for a ps5, I can just play it on my 4K MacBook display
".. when they get their next gen patches…" near the end of 2021. That said, GREAT comparison, thank you so much for all of this!

Stadia is truly phenomenal.
I’m not going into explanation, research yourself. Google (and I’m a HUGE Apple fan) is bringing to the table what no one else is.
Luna, XCloud, GeForce Now all great services but Stadia I believe is the next step.
I support all endeavors, but Google please keep pushing Stadia!
When are you guys ever going to cover VR games? Seriously. Can't believe you call yourselves a gaming outlet.
The fact that the results are this close at all considering a Series X costs $499, and you can play Stadia in a browser tab on just about any machine (even on your phone, if you dont mind the tiny screen) is pretty promising. Excellent comparison.
The time you took to sort all of this out need a like and sub
Should have built it for PC then port to consoles like they did with Witcher 2.
Witcher 2 was a technical masterpiece for the time and hammered high end PCs but it worked, it should never have ran on 360 but it did and it worked well.
At this point in time, I'm not willing to consider anything running at less than 60 FPS, bar games running on a Switch. It's just not acceptable for games to run any lower than 60 FPS, it's such a bad experience below that.
I only get 100mbps here in Australia, not great for stadia
It’s funny and ironic how so many gamers have trashed Stadia as a decent way to play games and it ended up being the best way to play the game next to a mid to high end PC. I have been a supporter of Stadia ever since I claimed my free Premiere Edition for being a YouTube Red member. I even pre-ordered Cyberpunk 2077 to claim another free Premiere Edition and another Stadia controller to go with my original Chromecast Ultra so I have Stadia on all three tv’s. I cannot stress how convenient it is to pick up and play on any tv I wish without having to worry about downloads and updates. If you have a fast and stable WiFi signal it works great and playing current-gen games that look and perform almost as well as current-gen hardware on a device smaller than a hockey puck is impressive to me. The only drawback is quality is dependent on your internet speeds and the stability of your connection as well as worrying about data caps and/or ISP throttling. I will note that I notice the latency is higher than on local hardware but it’s nothing game breaking and just like latency on hardware, your brain gets used to it quickly. One last thing, the controller is almost on par with a DuelShock 4 (I say almost because it’s laid out like a DuelShock 4 except I feel Google made superior thumb sticks but it has an inferior d-pad that is just bad. Google needs to take notes from Nintendo on the d-pad. Otherwise it’s one of the best feeling controllers I have used but not better than a XBoxOne or Series controller. If they could fix the d-pad in a revision they would have a seriously great controller to brag about.)
Gamers should not write off Stadia before trying it and at worst you end up with a great 4K streaming device if you end up not using Stadia at all.
*8.8Gb Per Hour
This game was a scam… Like one of those money laundering "art" projects. Noone cares anymore about the game or the studio. Lets move on.
Why did you use 4G When 5G is widely available in London
Even Vega 56 can't hold 60 fps with 1080p. It's kinda sucks…
Alright I'll fold.
