Unfortunately, he was only able to get a 1080p stream with his connection. According to web usage tracking, Google Stadia when playing at 1080p resolution at 60 fps it consumes 119 MB per minute or 7,14 GB per hour. The 4K stream will likely exceed the advertised 20GB of data per hour.
Red Dead Redemption 2's story campaign takes an average of 47 hours to complete, according to . During this time, Google Stadia will download more than 335 GB of data at 1080p.
The PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2 is approximately 150 GB in size, which is significantly less than the 47 hours of playtime on Google Stadia.
