Google Stadia vs. Nvidia GeForce Now

ROUND 1

Value

Stadia and GeForce Now are both subscription services, though the price points vary, and there are different hardware options. Stadia requires a specific controller and Chromecast Ultra, which can be purchased in a bundle for $129. GeForce Now requires a PC, Mac, or Android device. Naturally, both require a TV or monitor, and a high-speed Internet connection.

Both Stadia and Now offer free and paid subscription services, but at the time of writing, Google’s free service isn’t available yet. Looking at the paid options puts Nvidia ahead. GeForce Now’s premium membership costs $5 a month, half that of Stadia Pro, and offers ray-traced content.
