The Founder’s Edition bundle for Google Stadia has been sold out by pre-orders in most European countries. Google even had to quickly announce a new one — the Premier Edition. Bundles cost the same, but differ in their filling.
Night Blue
The Founder’s Edition, priced at €129, included an exclusive Stadia controller of the Night Blue color plus three months of a premium subscription to the service for two players.
Google does not specify the total number of Founder’s Edition.
According to 9to5Google, the bundle is no longer available in France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland and the Netherlands. It can still be pre-ordered in the UK.
Clearly White
For those Europeans who did not have time to buy the bundle, Google will release an alternative — the Premier Edition.
It will cost the same €129. But it has fewer advantages:
- this package also includes a controller, but this is the standard Clearly White shown at GDC 2019;
- the owner of the Premier Edition will not be able to share a subscription to Stadia Pro with a friend, unlike the owner of the Founder’s Edition;
- and also will not be able to reserve a unique username for himself: any other player will be able to take it for himself (the difference will be in the generated numbers at the end of the login);
- The Premier Edition, as well as the Founder’s Edition, will include the Chromecast Ultra streaming player and the full Destiny 2 edition from Bungie.
Both bundles will go on sale until November 14. On this day, the official launch of Google Stadia will take place.
