Google Stadia added several new games this week for the first time in a while, as the platform has also added a new “Retro” section and picked up some new hardware.
New games on Stadia
Stadia has been in a bit of a drought for new games for the past few weeks, but several new games arrived this week.
The biggest expansion game from a new “Retro Games” section on the Stadia store, which gives gamers a quick and easy place to pick up remakes of older games. Right now, the section is only containing Atari’s “Recharged” series, which picked up four new titles this week. Presumably, this section could expand in time – it seems like a no-brainer to add the Doom 64 port to this section.
All five new games added to Stadia this week include:
- Gravitar: Recharged – $9.99
- Black Widow: Recharged – $9.99
- Asteroids: Recharged – $9.99
- Breakout: Recharged – $9.99
- Dreamworks Dragons: Legends of The Nine Realms – $49.99
Google has added 53 new games to Stadia in 2022. In 2021, Google delivered 107 new titles to the Stadia library, and the company promised at least 100 new games during 2022, which is impossible at this current rate unless there are dozens of releases in the coming weeks.
Games coming to Stadia
As a part of October’s Stadia Pro lineup, five brand new games will be coming to Stadia including:
- Arcade Paradise
- Drawful 2
- Slaycation Paradise
- Tangle Tower
- Looking for Aliens
From Space picked up a new release date of November 3 this week, after having been delayed earlier this month. The game will still arrive day-and-date on Stadia.
Finally, Taxi Chaos is rumored to be headed to Stadia, as Stadiahoy claims. Take this with a huge grain of salt, as we’re not aware of any track record at play.
Updates
Chromecast with Google TV (HD) is officially Stadia-compatible
The Chromecast with Google TV (HD) went official this week for $29.99 with 1080p output, HDR, and official support for Google Stadia. The affordable streamer will be the latest addition to the list of officially supported devices for Stadia, the company confirmed to 9to5Google in a statement this week.
