While the promise of Google Stadia shines brightest when playing AAA titles on a cheap Chromecast, Google’s gaming platform has also picked up a slate of exclusive indie games, including Lost Words: Beyond the Page.

If you have a second controller handy, it’s a snap to play co-op games with a partner on Google Stadia, including on Chromecast Ultra.

Two weeks ago, Google announced a slate of “First on Stadia” titles. Lost Words: Beyond the Page is now getting a Stadia launch date and exclusive status, while publisher Modus Games also revealed that Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break and Cris Tales is coming to the streaming platform this year.
Undoubtedly, the way that the console wars are won is through exclusive titles. So far, Google Stadia has been a bit lacking in that department, with only timed exclusives branded as “First on Stadia” titles. Today, the studio Splash Damage has announced a proper exclusive title is in the works for Google Stadia.
If you have some free time on your hands, Google Stadia is ready to fuel your next big gaming journeys. Starting today, and running until April 1st, Stadia Pro members have access to discounted sale prices on five games, including Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and just-released title The Division 2.
If you’re looking for a way to blow off steam with friends this week, Ubisoft and Google Stadia have just what you need.

Last month, following the expiration of some early Stadia Pro memberships, Google Stadia created a way for Base players to enjoy Destiny 2, which is free-to-play on other platforms, by buying one or both of its expansions.

Google Stadia is a great way for those who were never gamers and those who had to leave gaming behind for a while to play games at their convenience without the normal fuss of traditional consoles and PCs. Because of that unique market, games both old and new are greatly welcomed in Stadia’s growing library. To that end, Croteam and Devolver Digital have brought their classic Serious Sam trilogy to Google Stadia.
To an extent, each gaming console or platform is judged by its library and especially its exclusives. To that end, Google is announcing five more games coming soon to Stadia including three “First on Stadia” games.
