Google Stadia Founders Edition launches in November for $130

Google announced today that its Stadia Pro cloud gaming service will go live in 13 countries in Europe and the U.S. in November for a monthly fee of $10 a month. But the company will stage the rollout of its service, and today it is opening preorders for the Stadia Founder’s Edition at the Google Store. If you want this founder status, you have to pay $130 for a package deal.

With that, you get a Chromecast Ultra, a limited edition Night Blue Stadia Controller, three months of Stadia Pro service, a three-month Buddy Pass to bring a friend along for the ride, and dibs on selecting a Stadia name, said John Justice, vice president of product for Google Stadia, in an interview with GamesBeat.
