Thanks to the teardown of the Google One and Google Stadia APK we have the opportunity to find out in advance what news we can expect in the future for the two services.
Play Pass bundle coming with Google One
Starting with Google One, Big G’s subscription service that allows you to take advantage of more storage space for Google Drive and Google Photos, we discover that the Google One development team is working on the implementation of some interesting news. In fact, within version 1.109, some traces have been found relating to the possibility of adding a Play Pass to the Google One plan with a discount.
- Add Play Pass
- Bundle Google One & Play Pass and save%
- Add Play Pass to your plan and save%
By default, the bundle starts at a cost of $ 1.99 per month for 100 GB of Google One cloud space. The Play Pass bundle will also be shareable with family members, just like the space available with Google One.
How much news is landing on Google Stadia
The teardown of version 3.28 of the Google Stadia app revealed that, soon, support for Google Assistant and screenshots will also be extended to third-party controllers.

Smartphone as an external controller
The Mountain View giant is also working on the Bridge Mode function which, once ready, will allow users to use their smartphone as an external controller.
Chat with the party
Google Stadia for Android does not yet have a system that can allow audio parties with their playmates using the in-game chat system. The development team is continuing to work on the functionality as evidenced by the strings of code found in the latest version of the app:
- Join party voice chat
- Join this party to chat and play together
- Party voice chat is available
Remaining autonomy indicator
Several strings of code indicate the development of a feature that will make it much easier to see the remaining autonomy of your smartphone. It is not yet clear how the remaining battery percentage will be shown on the screen, but most likely it will be an overlay menu.
