Stadia Savepoint: December updates
Stadia has been up to a lot this past month. Since all Stadia updates and feature additions happen in the background with no downloads, patches or installs, it can be easy to miss a thing or two. To help our gamers keep track of everything, we're introducing the first in a series of posts to keep you up to date on what's new with Stadia.
Chromecast Ultra
All Chromecast Ultra devices received an update for Stadia compatibility, giving you access to another TV to play Stadia on. Whether you bought a bundle or not, you can now play Stadia on your TV with any Chromecast Ultra and the Stadia controller. The update also includes general performance and stability improvements for all Chromecast Ultras.
Stream Connect
Many games have become so complex that split-screen technology has declined because rendering two or more scenes at the same time is too taxing on consoles. Because Stadia runs in the cloud, there aren't the same restrictions you'd have on a local machine, and you can see multiple screens without performance penalties.
This feature is particularly exciting in Tom Clancy's "Ghost Recon Breakpoint," as you can monitor the screens of up to three teammates, enhancing your gaming experience and making the Stadia version of Ghost Recon the best way to play. Complete challenging missions that demand precise and coordinated teamwork, and defeat cunning enemies in a war against insidious opposing forces.
