In the upper left corner, instead, the network status: “Great” in this case, to emphasize that the speed of the line is optimal for the game in streaming. Considering that the photo was taken at a videogame fair, we would be surprised to see a different result.

We remind you that in order to play with Stadia you will need at least 10 Mbps agreeing to limit the quality of the video signal to the 720p format, while those who want to go as far as 4K will necessarily need a connection of 35 Mbps or more.
