  The hardware you get with the $129.99 Stadia "Founder's Edition."

At its Made by Google event this morning, Google announced that the Stadia streaming gaming service will roll out to preorder customers on November 19.

That specific date further clarifies a vaguer "November" launch window that was announced back in June. In a blog post accompanying the on-stage announcement, Google further clarified that the service would go live at 9am PST (12pm EST, 5pm BST) on that day.

As previously discussed, the only players who will be able to access Stadia on that launch day are those who spend $129 to pre-purchase the Stadia Founder's Edition package (or the substantially similar Premiere Edition that was announced later). Those packages come with a Wi-Fi Stadia Controller, a Chromecast Ultra for TV streaming, three months of Stadia Pro, and a streamable copy of Destiny 2.
