Google Stadia will receive 400 new games in 2021 or later
Google Stadia officially launched earlier this month with 22 games to start. The cloud gaming platform currently has around 100 games and plans to release an additional 400 new games.
Google Stadia’s director of games, Jack Buser, revealed the company’s plans in an interview with MobileSyrup. Buser said his team is done with Stadia’s plans for 2021 and is in the process of drawing plans for 2022. He added that 400 new games from 200 developers are in tow for Stadia. Buser hasn’t said when these new games will launch on Google Stadia, however. Rather, he suggested that the launch could take place in 2021 or even beyond.
Buser also touched on the fact that Google has been investing in Stadia for a long time. Gaming is one of Google’s biggest businesses. If you watch on Stadia, [Google] Play, and YouTube, this is extremely important to our business. That’s why you see us investing so much time and energy to support these hundreds of developers who are building all these games. We have a very exciting year ahead of us. And, in fact, we have many very exciting years ahead of us, said Mr Buser, quoted by Mobile Syrup.
Buser added that the company will increase the number of exclusive titles on Stadia. Google had called on Ubisoft and industry veteran EA Jade Raymond to develop titles exclusive to Stadia. These games are said to offer more than what consoles do, because Stadia is free of limitations.
