New games on Stadia
One new title joined Google Stadia this week, in Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion. The game, which first launched in 2018 on other platforms, follows the popular characters with same voice cast as the TV show. Pricing lands at $29.99.
So far, nearing four months into 2022, Google Stadia has added 15 new games to the platform. In 2021, Google delivered 107 new titles to the Stadia library, and the company promises at least 100 new games during 2022.
