Google Stadia’s initial reveal certainly made some jaws drop detailing info on a brand new way to stream games with zero hardware and nothing but a controller. Not only that, but the streaming services are also going to tackle 4k and 60 FPS by the time it launches. As appealing as the reveal sounded, it also brought a series of questions and concerns.  Is download speed the only thing a user needs to worry about or can latency come into play? Besides the initial subscription payment of $9.99 a month, will games still be the full price to stream? One important question was if Google Stadia will have a variety of games that can be accessed and the answer to that question is beginning to show promise as Google Stadia’s game list has now doubled since the reveal.

Here is a list off all the games that can be accessed with more surely to come:

• Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
• Baldur’s Gate 3
• Borderlands 3
• Darksiders Genesis
• Destiny 2
• DOOM
• DOOM Eternal
• Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2
• Farming Simulator 19
• Final Fantasy XV

• GRID
• GYLT
• Just Dance
• Metro Exodus
• Mortal Kombat 11
• NBA 2K
• Rage 2
• Rise of the Tomb Raider
• Samurai Shodown
• Shadow of the Tomb Raider
• The Crew 2
• The Elder Scrolls Online
• Thumper
• Tomb Raider Definitive Edition
• Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint
• Tom Clancy’s The Division 2
• Trials Rising
• Wolfenstein: Youngblood

Given the small time frame, this is an exciting update from Google Stadia giving curious gamers hope to the question whether there will be enough accessible games for Stadia’s launch. As exciting news as this sounds, the question about pricing still lingers but it seems there won’t be a discount of any kind when it comes to the streaming service. “I don’t know why it would be cheaper,” said Phil Harrison, Stadia head. “The value you get from the game on Stadia means you can play it on any screen in your life – TV, PC, laptop, tablet, phone. I think that is going to be valuable to players.” If the streaming service plays as flawlessly as planned this might not deter players from experimenting with Stadia.

It seems Google Stadia developers are confident it will play out exactly as planned for launch. The updated game roster is certainly pleasing and shows games will be quickly added to the service. Nevertheless, the internet can be a finicky thing, and just like a pre-released trailer for a AAA game, it may look and feel completely different when Stadia officially launches this November. Time will tell on this one, make sure to stay connected at MXDWN Games for more info.
