Destiny 2 Players Get Free Month Of GeForce Now After Stadia Shut Down

The shut-down of Stadia hasn't really come as a surprise. Google was initially a little withholding of the platform's streaming formula, but once people learnt that it wasn't the 'Netflix for Games', the idea immediately felt less appealing. Add to that Google's notorious habit of starting off projects and abandoning them at the first sign of inconvenience. While, the platform won't be direly missed as such, the few who put in the hours will surely feel short-changed – especially with live service Games.

It seems Destiny 2 developer Bungie wants to hold on to the handful of Guardians who have decided to play the game via streaming platforms. While the developer shut down its Stadia servers well over a week ago, the platform itself shuttered barely three days ago. Bungie took the opportunity to try and sway these players onto another video game streaming platform, Nvidia GeForce Now.

RELATED: I'll Always Miss What Stadia Could Have Been

As spotted by 9to5Google, all those who've played Destiny 2 on Stadia should have received an email from Bungie saying, "With Stadia shut down, you might be looking for a new place to cloud game. We managed to snag some free codes for Nvidia’s high-performance cloud gaming platform, GeForce Now." Each email also included a unique code, giving the user one month free access to GeForce Now Priority. So, if you were worried that you'd have to switch to a PC or a traditional console, just go through your email. Be warned though, the code will expire by February 19.

Google's video Game streaming platform has received more adoration in death than it did in life. Players flocked to Stadia to try and attain the high score on its last ever Game, Worm Game. It was a rather simple Game, but players probably did so in honour of what the platform could have been.

Two heartwarming stories came from Stadia's version of Red Dead Online. One player with over 6,000 hours clocked in the Game received a special gift from Rockstar Games for their dedication. Another player said goodbye to the Game and the platform by releasing a horse named after their late daughter.

The Last Of Us Show Confirms How The Virus Spread

HBO's The Last Of Us is well and truly off and running now, its second episode airing on Sunday night. That episode confirmed a fan theory regarding how exactly the cordyceps fungus was able to spread so quickly. Be warned if you haven't seen the first two episodes of the show, the rest of this article is teeming with pretty significant spoilers. Just hours after the show premiered nine days ago, fan theories started to swirl pointing to contaminated flour being the root of what quickly becomes an effectively world-ending pandemic. That theory was confirmed to be accurate during the opening few minutes of episode two. Another flashback, this time in Indonesia, during which a mycologist examines a flour factory worker infected by cordyceps.

MTG's Phyrexia: All Will Be One Card Lets You Kill Your Opponent In Just Two Turns

Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, is currently being previewed. While we’ve seen all kinds of big, splashy cards, the one that’s given players the fear is, of all things, a tiny little Goblin Warrior. With just three cards and two lands, Cacophony Scamp can wipe an opponent out as early as turn two. Even more scarily, this combo works in both Modern and Pioneer, where it could give birth to a new take on the deck known as Hammer Time. RELATED: Magic: The Gathering – Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews As noted on Reddit, Cacophony Scamp is an unassuming 1/1 Goblin Warrior costing just one red mana. It doesn’t have haste, but it does have two big upsides: it can sacrifice itself once it’s dealt combat damage, and when it dies, it deals damage equal to its power to any other target. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY With these two abilities, Cacophony Scamp becomes an absolute fiend when...

Mortal Kombat 11 Fans Discover Hidden Voice Line Four Years After Launch

Mortal Kombat 11 will be four years old in April, and fans are still making new discoveries. The latest is one that was teased by NetherRealm Studios senior designer Aaron Davis back in 2020, three years ago, and as it turns out, he was hinting at a hidden voice line. "For people who like hidden stuff in MK Game s, there's something in MK11 I put in that hasn't been found yet from what I can tell," Davis tweeted (as reported by Euro Game r). "Only hint I'll give is it's done inside a match and it's been there since day 1, so not DLC related." RELATED: Marvel’s Midnight Suns' Abbey Is The Perfect Mix Of Hades And Mortal Kombat YouTuber Waz, on February 19, revealed that, after four years, the mystery had finally been cracked, and it's an old-school style easter egg. When Erron Black beats an opponent, he flips a coin before sliding it into his pocket. However, if you hold the up arrow on the D-pad, he will instead throw it a...
