Google Stadia will offer free 30-minute “trials” games

Google's gaming streaming service Stadia appears to have added support for free trial games, starting with its own

exclusive game. The feature allows free tier users to access a 30-minute version of Hello Engineer before deciding whether to spend $20 to purchase it.

Hello Engineer – this is a new free gamefor Pro subscribers, but it costs $20 if you're not one. However, below the purchase/application with Pro options is a new “Free Trial” button that allows you to play for free for 30 minutes.

After starting the game, the countdown timer startscountdown, and it does not stop even if the game is paused. At the end, Google will ask if you want to purchase the game while keeping your current progress.

Google has not yet officially mentioned the newoptions, and there is no information about whether this practice will spread to other games. But this seems like a great idea because it saves developers from having to create separate democracy versions of their games. There are also complete advantages for players, because 30 minutes is usually more than enough to understand whether they liked the game and make a purchasing decision.
