Stadia Will Get 120 Games This Year, Including Exclusives
In 2020, 120 games will debut on the Google Stadia streaming service, including ten exclusive titles that we will see in the first half of the year. We can also expect a number of new features and improvements. The source of information is a note that has been published on the platform's community website.
A note has appeared on Google Stadia's community website, which summarizes last year's achievements of its creators and presents their plans for the next 12 months. It looks like over 120 games will debut in the service this year, including ten exclusive titles. Interestingly, the latter are to be released in the first half of the year. Unfortunately, no further information was given about them.
Players can also expect some new features, such as... additional capabilities of Google Assistant and support for 4K resolution when the service is launched in a browser on a PC, support for other Android smartphones (currently Stadia works only on devices from the Pixel line), or the ability to play on a gamepad using Bluetooth (this also applies to the browser - currently, wireless connections work only with Chromecast Ultra).
Stadia's successes over the past year include adding "new, great games" to the library, updating Chromecast Ultra, enriching the platform with new features (including the already mentioned support for Google Assistant, at least when playing on a TV connected to Chromecast) and the debut of Stream Connect in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint (local cooperation in split-screen mode). The team also boasted of having acquired Typhoon Studios in December.
The note seems to be written mainly to reassure fans and investors after the poor launch and convince them that Google is not going to give up its gaming project. It is difficult to find another explanation for choosing such form of communiction to inform of ten exclusive titles in the first half of the year. Normally, such news is revealed with a bit more bang... Unless this means ten indie games and there's really nothing to brag about.
