I'll be interested to see whether the Stadia version is more like a console experience or more like a PC.


Publications already indicated that the Stadia version is good, if that is what you are alluding to.

"It may be hard to believe, but the Google Stadia version of Cyberpunk 2077 may be the best way to play for most players right now. Unless you have a 20 or 30 Series Nvidia GPU or comparable AMD card or you were lucky enough to get a PS5 or Xbox Series X / S, this game will not be performing anywhere close to how it was designed to."

Interesting. This was, essentially, one of the goals of Stadia---consolidating the software and computation centrally should allow the Stadia version to run on whatever hardware is necessary to make it run well.


It's already out and apparently it works fine. You're basically remoting into a PC version of the game.


Interestingly, I've read somewhere here on HN that Stadia (which runs on Linux) version is basically a PS version (= FreeBSD version), stripped from dependency on Sony's libraries (and, from what I've got from the reactions, also with better graphical settings).


You might know more about this than I do. Regardless, it does sound like the Stadia version is running well, which is probably a result of it running on hardware that is actually capable of running it, unlike the previous gen consoles. The current gen consoles are also having better luck running it.
