Nearly five months after its paid launch, Google’s Stadia streaming-games service is finally rolling out a (relatively) simple way to try it out for free. Curious new users no longer have to pay $130 upfront or a $10 monthly fee (or rely on an invite code from a Premiere Edition subscriber) to try the service.
Google announced today that it would be rolling out free access to Stadia across 14 countries over the next 48 hours. Anyone with a Gmail address should soon be able to sign up for Stadia at its website or through the mobile app on Android or iOS.
