Google Stadia State Share

How many times have you experienced a situation where you are watching a gamer play online or have a friend send you a screenshot of their gameplay, and wished for nothing more than to be able to join in on the fun? Well with Google Stadia’s State Share, you can do just that- jump and join in on the gameplay at any point by simply clicking on a link that the original player sends you.

With State Share, a gamer can convert a gameplay into a transferable and shareable encoded file that can be used to access that particular moment in the gameplay by anyone who is given permission to view and use the weblink. This means that you can basically convert in game moments into web links that encode in themselves, the saved game state, player inventory, and a multitude of other factors that will allow anyone who clicks on the link to join in on the fun at that very specific moment.

How does state share work?

As mentioned before, State Share takes a given moment in the gameplay and converts its data and details into a transferable file which is basically the game state data. The player can then choose to share this link or file with other forms of media that they may choose to share pertaining to their gameplay such as livestreams, videos, or screenshots, and give certain users permission to access its contents by clicking on a button next to the media. Clicking on the dedicated button takes the user to the Stadia platform and allows them to indulge in the gameplay experience corresponding to the moment in the gameplay when the game save state was initiated. This will, of course, be accessible for games that have been integrated to work in collaboration with the Google Stadia platform.
