Following Google’s official announcement, its cloud gaming service has landed on Apple platforms. It doesn’t do it as an app, but as a web app that we can access through a browser. So, to enjoy games like Cyberpunk 2077, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla or Destiny 2, just open Safari.
A large catalog already available in our pocket
According to Google’s announcement, if we have iOS / iPadOS 14.3, we can go to stadia.google.com and start playing. On the website we will find a PWA (Progressive Web Application) that mimics the experience of a native application right in the browser. Mention that in versions prior to iOS 14.3, platform stability is not as desired, so it is recommended to update to the latest version.
Once we are on the site We can use any compatible bluetooth controller, the controls on the same screen or the Stadia controller that Google markets. According to some early tests, the user experience is really good and it is hardly affected by the fact that it is not a dedicated app.
With the arrival of this platform on iOS and iPadOS the door opens on a good number of interesting titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Assassins Creed Valhalla, Destiny 2, Immortals Fenyx Rising, Outcasters, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds o Sniper Elite 4, by all ejemplos.
It is clear that the arrival of this catalog on iPhone and iPad is good news. If we add to this the gradual rollout of 5G and its support in the iPhone 12, the truth is, we have a winning combination.
