Ahead of the Cyberpunk 2077 release, Google has expanded the list of supported countries for their game streaming service called Stadia.
In the blog post update from Samuel Peterson who is the "Head of EMEA Business Development" at Stadia, they confirmed these newly supported countries: Austria, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia and Switzerland. If you already have a Google and/or Gmail account - you're good to go. It may take up to 24 hours for it to all roll out fully though.
Stadia as a service is entirely free to sign up and use like you would any other store to buy games from. Plus there's the optional Stadia Pro subscription to get free games (currently about 33), 4K support and extra discounts at times. There's also now some free to play titles like Destiny 2 and Super Bomberman R Online with more to come. Once in, you can also grab Stadia Pro free for one month.
You can use the service on Stadia.com on Linux through a Chromium browser.
For new users I would suggest checking out the new Stadia exclusive Outcasters. I've ended up personally putting quite a few hours into it, as it's actually a huge amount of fun. Trailer is below:

i am out google.... geforce now is much better and user friendly
Quoting: GuestI tested it today. Apparently it doesn't work on FreeBSD because Chromium does not provide hardware acceleration for the decoding in combination with the proprietary Nvidia software.It doesn't require hardware accel though, most Chrome / Chromium installs on Linux do not have it with NVIDIA and it doesn't cause issues for me.
Quoting: orochi_kyoThe Steam hate is quite confirmed when the vocal AntiDRM users(very present on this website) are silent in Stadia posts.Maybe because some people have blocked the Stadia tag, or just act like a reasonable adult and don't comment and moan on posts about things they're clearly not interested in? More people should do that, and let others enjoy what they like. Hint hint.
Quoting: mylkaohhhhhh cmon you need a credit card just for testing.You shouldn't. Going to the home page, it shows me a clear link that can get you right into Super Bomberman R Online and it says "No Stadia Pro Membership or Credit Card Required".
