Lenovo has partnered up with Google to offer free Stadia Pro memberships to anyone that buys a Legion gaming PC. If that sounds like a good deal to you, and you were already considering a new gaming PC, then you may want to consider something from Lenovo’s Legion line.
Having said that the offer also includes IdeaPad PCs. Worth keeping in mind though is that this probably isn’t every single PC from these two lineups. The offer is listed as only being compatible with select Lenovo Legion and Lenovo IdeaPad PCs. And that means you’ll need to double check if the ones you’re looking at are part of the offer.
Unfortunately, Lenovo doesn’t seem to have that detail listed with the announcement. So it may be something consumers have to ask about when purchasing.
The Lenovo Stadia Pro offer starts rolling out this month
Lenovo says the offer begins rolling out this month, so it’s not quite available yet. The more important detail though relates to the PCs you buy.
While this only includes Legion and IdeaPad PCs, it can be a desktop or a laptop. So you have some wiggle room there. However, Lenovo does mention that they have to be manufactured after April 5, 2021.
Which suggests that the laptop or desktop you buy will have to be from fresh stock that arrives in stores on or around that date. If you buy from older stock, say from last December, then those machines probably aren’t eligible for the offer.
On top of that, you have to live in one of the supported regions. Those include the US, Canada, UK, and a handful of other countries across Europe.
Consider which Pro games are on offer
Since the offer is going to be starting within the next couple of weeks, it’s likely to last a while. How long is unclear but chances are, it’ll be more than a few weeks.
With that said, you may want to consider what Stadia Pro games on offer for free before you buy. Since these rotate out every month, and your free trial will include 90 days of Pro without having to pay for it, you may want to save the offer claim for when there are better games available.
Or perhaps more specifically, games which you’re more interested in. If the current crop of free games for March doesn’t interest you, you might want to wait until April or May’s free games before you claim your free membership.
