One of the most intriguing elements of Google Stadia was the State Share feature, which was shown during the platform’s initial announcement. While State Share was absent throughout 2020, it will be showing up in Hitman 3 on Jan. 20.
The feature allows you to share a game state from any campaign or custom mission without having to send anyone a save file. When you capture an image or video from your playthrough, you can generate a URL that others can click and hop into the game at the same point.
You'll be able to challenge other players to take on a mission from the same point and under the same circumstances as you, including an identical starting location, objectives, difficulty level and loadout. If someone shares a state that's far ahead of where you are, you'll be able to leap in and use weapons and items that you might not have unlocked without impacting your own progression.
The launch of Hitman 3 is particularly exciting for fans of Google Stadia, as the game marks the formal debut of State Share — a feature previously only seen in beta on Crayta — which is the ability to attach the “state” of your game to a screenshot or video capture. As our Damien Wilde notes, Hitman 3 uses State Share in Stadia to allow you to share a particular starting point and equipment, though not any in-level progress.
Catherine Hsaio, Product Manager at Stadia, explained further: “State Share allows players to capture a unique game state – a playable slice of the game itself – to share with friends within a link to the gameplay screenshot or video clip.
Every game that supports State Share will feature game states with different gameplay elements included, such as the player’s current items, difficulty level, objectives, and more. So it’s really as easy as saving a capture on Stadia and sharing the link with friends, viewers, or followers so they can click to launch the game and play for themselves.”
State Share is one of the factors that could make Stadia a more interesting prospect as a platform, especially in the arena of Hitman 3. The complex and dense Hitman levels can play out in different ways depending on which way you go, what uniform you steal, or who you quietly dispatch.
