Google Stadium announced a plan for 100 games by the end of this year. The news comes from the news that the company is closing its gaming studio for the platform. Google’s own community blog has had more details, but it indicates a renewed effort to make the cloud gaming platform a major player in the coming years. There are definitely a few more buttons to work out, but addressing the timeline for more games is going to be a big boost. Complaints about the pool of experiences available at Stadia were commonplace near the launch. FIFA 21, Judgment and Shantae: Half-Genie Hero will all make their way to the streaming platform. It therefore adds a much-needed variety to what Google is planning in this space. Time will tell whether all these versions will reverse their fate.
Google Stadium boss Phil Harrison spoke about the decision to close their first-party efforts on the corporate blog as well.
‘We have launched Stadia with the aim of making your favorite games available immediately wherever you want to play. With the recent successful launch of Cyberpunk 2077 on Stadia, the gameplay on all kinds of devices, including iOS, the growth of our YouTube integrations and our global extensions, it’s clear that Stadia’s technology has been proven and works on a large scale, ”said he told fans. . ‘Streaming games to any screen is the future of this industry, and we will continue to invest in Stadia and its underlying platform to provide the best cloud experience for our partners and the gaming community. This has been Stadia’s vision since the beginning. ”
Harrison continues: ‘In 2021, we are expanding our efforts to help game developers and publishers take advantage of our platform technology and deliver games directly to their players. We see an important opportunity to work with partners looking for a gaming solution, all built on Stadia’s advanced technical infrastructure and platform tools. We believe this is the best way to build Stadia into a long-term, sustainable business that helps grow the industry. ”
