So here is good news for avid gamers that Google has started testing and playing stadia games over cellular networks. As we know until now, Google Stadia games can only be played over a WiFi network with a minimum of 10Mbps of speed. Yesterday, Google’s blog post suggested that the company is testing Stadia games over 4g 5g cellular networks. The posted news on Google’s stadia Community stated that “Try games on Stadia using 4G and 5G with a new Stadia Experiment launching July 28. If you’d like to be part of this Experiment, you can opt into cellular play by opening the Stadia app on an Android phone, clicking on your avatar in the top right corner, selecting Experiments, and then choosing Use Mobile Data. We’ll have more opt-in programs in the future as we bring even more helpful features to Stadia.“
Google Testing Stadia Games Over Cellular Networks
According to a report from 9to5Google, if you play Stadia game using a mobile network so it will consume less amount of data as compared to WiFi, the website says Satdia will use around 2.7GB of data per hour when you are streaming using the mobile network. That is almost one-fourth of 12.6GB per hour for 1080p gaming and relatively half of 4.5 GB per hour for 720p gaming. However, Google hasn’t mentioned anything about the quality of games while playing over the cellular network. We can expect it would be around 360p or 480p.
