The countdown starts from the moment users begin the trial, rather than only counting the time spent in-game. Now, the latter can hit a 'free trial' button to try the game for 30 minutes before deciding if it's worth the money. It's already free to those who subscribe to the service's Pro tier, while those on the free tier have to pay $20 for the full game. YouTube channel Gem (via 9to5Google) spotted that users of Stadia's free option can now access a 30-minute trial of Hello Engineer. It's latest attempt to attract new users involves free limited-time trials of games.
In brief: Google isn't giving up on Stadia, despite the game streaming service proving a lot less popular than the company hoped.
