The service of the Mountain View company will not have a system of achievements at its launch and will not have an outgoing Buddy Pass.
Google Stadia will arrive this November 19 to the stores of a total of fourteen countries (Spain included) without some of the promised features. Among them, the service of the American company via streaming will not have Family Sharing, Stream Connect, State Share or Crowd Play; In addition, there will be limitations of resolution by streaming on computer. Let's go step by step.
Without 4k, HDR, 5.1 sound, achievements and other features until the future
On the one hand, the ability to lend games to associated family accounts (Family Sharing) will be made to beg until early 2020, as Google has confirmed in a statement via Reddit. Nor can the split screen (Stream Connect) be used until the end of the year, when the function begins to be released, even without a date. State Share, meanwhile, will allow sharing a specific moment of departure to a friend, but will not be ready this November 19. Finally, the function that will enable us to join directly the departure of a streamer (Crowd Play) is another feature delayed until further notice.

Google Stadia will support 5.1 surround sound, HDR and 4K resolution on a computer; not in vain, we have to wait until the beginning of 2020. At the moment it will be limited to 1080p resolution. Nor will the achievement system or the Buddy Pass, the code included in the Founder’s Edition, be given to give a friend three months of Stadia Pro, up to two weeks after departure.
