There are several options which could potentially improve performance. Whether suffering problems or playing without any compromise, according to the menu accessible via the Stadia controller, my connection was rated "Good," with the system stating "your current internet connection is solid. Later, returning to Red Dead Redemption 2, the campaign played flawlessly, even on Stadia's best visual quality setting. Play time with Shadow of the Tomb Raider wasn't as troubled, but still experienced occasional stutters. It was genuinely alienating, for example, to start a Red Dead Redemption 2 campaign and find the initial horse ride through the snow nearly unplayable, with poor frame rate performance and blurring graphical effects. While online play across consoles inevitably involves compromises and hiccups, Stadia introduces that same anxiety to gameplay experiences that work flawlessly, or nearly so, on other consoles. Performance issues in single-players games are a separate issue. I'm inclined to believe the worst performance issues, temporarily suffered, are likely to be ironed out, same as with any launch. Overall, Stadia performance in online games was approximately within the parameters I already anticipate with online gaming on my home Wi-Fi. The difference this time: it was outside of the public event hours setup for those previewing Stadia, so there was no one else online on the map. Returning to the EDZ later, performance was once again nearly flawless. "Destiny 2" played mostly acceptably on Google Stadia, but was marred by several major performance issues. The entire image would blur and then recohere over several seconds, similar to when streaming video over a poor connection. But hopping into the European Dead Zone (one of Destiny 2's large, open maps) and participating in some spontaneous public events tanked Stadia performance: graphical resolution plummeted and frame rates dropped. It was impressive, with online gaming performance that was, at first, more consistent than online play on my PlayStation 4, with its direct ethernet connection. In Destiny 2, three-person Raids performed well, on both TV and Pixel phone, with only a handful of minor frame rate stutters. That's not what I got while demoing Stadia. According to Google's own Stadia speed test, my connection is "great" and capable of a "high-performance gaming experience." I have in my apartment Optimum 200, so while far from gigabit, my service easily clears the Stadia threshold. My play test was conducted on my home Wi-Fi network, on which I averaged 129 Mbps download and 36 Mbps upload across multiple speed tests conducted when not using Stadia. Google Stadia games can be played across screens, but not all features are available on every platform.
