For nogle måneder siden kunne en rapport fortælle, at Google nu i stedet vælger at satse på Stadia som en teknologi der kan udlejes til andre interesserede virksomheder, som kan bruge den ambitiøse teknologi til at tilbyde nye former for spiloplevelser.
Dette er nu blevet endeligt bekræftet af Google selv, der kalder programmet "Immersive Stream for Games". Under deres seneste Google for Games-messe fortæller Careen Yapp fra Stadia-holdet, at de sammen med Google Cloud vil leje, udlåne, eller bare give deres teknologi væk til interesserede partnere:
"So in partnership with our colleagues at Google Cloud, we've developed a new offering called Immersive Stream for Games. It's designed around all the needs we've just described-- advanced streaming technology, the right tools to port games easily, powerful discovery features, and the analytics you need to optimize a direct-to-consumer business.
Last year, we began to work with early customers to understand their goals and to pilot this new offering. There are so many ways we can work with you to provide your experiences directly to players, from trials, to full games, to subscription bundles, or even entire storefronts."
Blandt andet AT&T skal benytte sig af teknologien, og har allerede, som test, tilbudt Batman: Arkham Knight direkte til deres kunder uden brug for en PC eller en konsol. De har i stedet tilbudt spillet via en browser i 1080p/60fps.
