In an attempt to bring back faith to the Google Stadia game streaming platform, after a shaky start, Google has confirmed the games that will be made available for Google Stadia Pro owners during February 2020. It’s been quite some time since the launch of Stadia a new game has been announced or released on the platform. Some arenas are even suggesting that Stadia’s launch was just an expensive beta test initiative by Google. “There are very few games to play, huge features still aren’t available, and there’s no indication of change,” reports Vice.
New Games for February 2020
During February 2020, Google Stadia Pro subscribers will be able to download and enjoy Metro Exodus and Gylt, the indie adventure game from Tequila Works. Metro Exodus is a first-person shooter game developed by 4A Games and published by Deep Silver. It is the third installment in the Metro video game series based on Dmitry Glukhovsky’s novels. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland of the former Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan, where players must deal with new hazards and engage in combat against mutated creatures as well as hostile humans.
Gylt, on the other hand, offers a unique experience as it combines elements of stealth and horror in a narrative-driven adventure. The game is set in a creepy, melancholic world where players take on the role of a young girl named Sally, who is searching for her missing cousin. The game’s atmosphere and storytelling have been praised for their depth and emotional impact.
Challenges and Future Prospects
Despite these new additions, Google Stadia has faced significant challenges since its launch. The platform was initially marketed as a revolutionary way to play games without the need for a console or high-end PC, promising seamless streaming and a vast library of games. However, the reality has been somewhat different. Many users have reported issues with latency, a limited selection of games, and missing features that were initially promised.
One of the major criticisms has been the lack of a robust game library. At launch, Stadia offered only a handful of games, and while the addition of titles like Metro Exodus and Gylt is a step in the right direction, it still falls short of the expectations set by other gaming platforms. Furthermore, features such as 4K streaming, achievements, and family sharing were either missing or not fully functional at launch, leading to frustration among early adopters.
Google has been working to address these issues, but progress has been slow. The company has promised more games and features in the coming months, but it remains to be seen whether these updates will be enough to win back the trust of gamers. The competition in the game streaming market is fierce, with established players like Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass and Sony’s PlayStation Now offering more comprehensive services.
