Being able to play Xenoverse 2 on virtually any piece of hardware that can access Google Chrome is neat, but it seems unlikely to convince fans to double dip.
However, Xenoverse 2 has been on the Switch for years, so portability isn't as big of a selling point as it would be for other games available on the platform. One advantage to getting the Stadia version of a game like Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is being able to play it on the go wherever. When it comes to older games that have been available on other platforms for years, it seems Stadia users will just have to risk not being able to get into multiplayer matches, which begs the question why they would bother with the Stadia version anyway.
It should be noted that this is a common problem for Stadia, as Destiny 2's player population is also declining rapidly on the platform. Other players were nowhere to be found in Xenoverse 2's co-op matchmaking or versus matchmaking, and sitting in lobbies didn't yield any results either. Xenoverse 2 is a four year old game that many fans have already played elsewhere, so it's not surprising that finding online matches was virtually impossible, but the seemingly low player population means that the online content is basically a non-factor for Stadia players. We saw just two user-created characters in the hub world, and were never able to get into any online multiplayer matches. The game's online multiplayer elements are certainly not required to enjoy it, but being able to see other players walking around the hub world or jump into an online multiplayer match definitely enhances the experience. Simply put, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is a ghost town. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 has a ton of content no matter what version of the game players decide to get, but the Stadia version has one huge flaw that brings the entire experience down considerably. The game still has great character creation tools, a huge roster of Dragon Ball Z fighters, and an engaging story that attempts to do something a little different instead of just retelling the plot of the anime for the umpteenth time. Of course, a lot that we praised about the game in our original Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 review holds true with the Stadia version. Years later, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 has found its way to Google's new Stadia platform, and while it's still a decent game, the Stadia version is clearly the inferior version. In 2016, developer Dimps and publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment released Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, which combined the fighting game mechanics of the Budokai series with some MMORPG elements and was mostly successful in doing so.
