First and foremost, there is a deadline. So if you want the free Stadia Premiere Edition, you need to buy the game buy a certain date. In addition to buying a game by the deadline, the purchase has to be for a certain amount. Obviously, Google isn’t just going to hand stuff out for free every single time it has a promotion. While it’s a nice idea, there has to be something in it for Google. And this time around that something happens to be in the form of game sales.

Buy a game on Stadia by October 10, get a Stadia Premiere Edition for free

The deadline for making the purchase as part of this promotion is October 10 at 11:59PM PST. So you don’t have long to take advantage of this. It’s already October 5 so anyone who wants a freebie needs to act fast as there’s five days left to get in on the deal. The other requirement is that the game has to cost at least $59.99. Which is full price. Google also notes that the purchase has to be for a game already available, or a pre-order for a game launching by October 10. If the game is a pre-order, it has to have a launch date of October 10 by the 11:59PM PST cutoff time. Google announced this promotion on September 30. The Premiere Edition costs $80. So if you were considering picking one up and buying a game anyway, buying one at full price scores you the hardware for no cost. Google is offering this promotion in the US, UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Austria, and Switzerland. Google will only give out the Premiere Edition kits as long as it has stock that’s been allocated for this promotion. So you shouldn’t wait if you’re considering it.
