We already knew that Resident Evil Village will be released on a number of platforms, including PS5 and Xbox Series X / S. And today, Google announced that the game will also arrive on Stadia. To encourage you to purchase this version, Google will offer a free Stadia Premiere kit to anyone who pre-orders Resident Evil Village before May 21st. The promotion is available for the Standard and Deluxe editions of Resident Evil Village, which cost $ 60 and $ 70, respectively.
Typically priced at $ 100, Google’s Stadia Premiere Edition features a white Stadia controller, a Chromecast Ultra and, for new users, a one-month trial subscription to the Stadia Pro-tier service. Stadia Pro includes 4K streaming and a growing collection of free games, similar to Sony’s PlayStation Plus service.
Google ran a similar promotion last year when it offered complimentary hardware if you ordered the Stadia version of Cyberpunk 2077. THE Resident Evil Village the promotion announcement comes at an interesting time, as Stadia’s future looks questionable. In February, Google closed its internal development studio Stadia. That same month, Bloomberg and Wired shed light on some of the tech giant’s flaws in building its cloud gaming platform.
Before Resident Evil Village arrives on May 7, Google also announced today that Stadia Pro members can redeem a free copy of Resident Evil 7 Gold Edition when the game launches on the cloud gaming service on April 1st.
