The next wave of games for Google Stadia will be revealed next month, as the next Stadia Connect event is due to take place on July 14.
Google Stadia has slowly been adding games over the past year, which has led to some amazing freebies. Google gave everyone access to two free months of the Stadia Pro service when the lockdown started, which means that everyone has gained access to a library of awesome titles… so long as they continue to pay for the subscription. The subscriptions claimed when the promotion was first announced will have expired by now, so Google needs to give compelling reasons to keep people paying. In the past month alone, Stadia Pro subscribers have received The Elder Scrolls Online, Panzer Dragoon Remake, Superhot, Little Nightmares, Get Packed, and Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid.
The current global situation has led to a number of gaming events being done as live streams, which resulted in things like the PC Gaming Show and Pokémon Presents. Google is joining the conversation with a new Stadia Connect event that will announce new games that are coming to the service in 2020. The event has been announced on the official Stadia Twitter page.
There are lots of possibilities for new titles that could come to Google Stadia, especially as the service needs to add more games to its Pro giveaways line-up. The people who have had a Stadia Pro subscription since day one already have access to a beefy library of titles and Google needs more stuff to keep the service enticing unless it wants to start giving away expensive games like Doom Eternal or Octopath Traveler.
Stadia recently took a hit when it was revealed that Cyberpunk 2077 would be coming to the service later than the other versions of the game. There are also doubts about whether Baldur’s Gate III (a game that was announced during the initial Stadia event) is coming in 2020. Google Stadia badly needs more games to add to the library and any new titles announced during the Stadia Connect will be welcome.
The next Stadia Connect event will be held on July 14, 2020.
