Google added one new game to Stadia this week with the debut of World War Z, but it wasn’t the only news on the platform.
Stadia Changelog is a weekly series on 9to5Google where we round up some of the Stadia news that we wouldn’t otherwise be able to talk about. This includes a roundup of which new games were released on Stadia during the week, which games saw updates and patches, new games either confirmed or speculated for the platform, and more. Come back every Friday, and don’t forget to check out Bandwidth, our weekly look at the rest of the cloud gaming world, including GeForce Now, Luna, and more.
New games on Stadia
As mentioned, the only new title added to Google Stadia this week was World War Z: Aftermath. The game usually costs $40, but is available through Stadia Pro at no cost. There’s also a 60-minute free trial available.
World War Z: Aftermath on Stadia is the ultimate co-op zombie shooter inspired by Paramount Pictures’ blockbuster film, and the next evolution of the original hit World War Z that has now captivated over 15 million players. Join up to three friends or play on your own with AI teammates against hordes of ravenous zombies in intense story episodes across new zombie-ravaged locations around the world.
As of this week, Google has added 17 new games to the platform during this calendar year. In 2021, Google delivered 107 new titles to the Stadia library, and the company promises at least 100 new games during 2022.
Games coming to Stadia
Following a previous teaser, the crowdfunded game Projekt Z has surpassed its goal of adding support for Google Stadia. Further, the game will also support cross-play between Stadia and Steam, per the developer’s Twitter account. That’s in contrast to World War Z, which lacks cross-play on Stadia at launch.
