in some cases stadia feels like it plays better than ios than it does on android even with apple's annoyances it's nice not to be inhibited by your smartphone or tablet choice any longer and it's a welcome addition for many players out there it's hard to deny that stadia has had a lack of real titles to choose from but that has undoubtedly improved over the past couple of years as you'd expect at the last count with a few removals and some recent additions there are now over NUMBER_TOKEN titles available on the google stadia store every month a handful of new games do make the jump from other platforms or launch on stator itself though which is always a nice sign the slow growth of the game library though is undoubtedly a battle axe that hardcore gamers will swing at the service and with good reason no console be that cloud or otherwise or even pc can survive without games and stadia is absolutely no different earlier in the year google did shutter stadia games and entertainment and this essentially ended any chance of exclusive internally developed first party titles now that is going to be a body blow for just about any gaming platform and stadia again is no different google claimed to be moving away from creating first party titles and instead helping developers get their titles on the service you could read this in a few ways though google understands that creating brand new gaming ips is a difficult and expensive task alternatively stadia hasn't quite hit the heights that google had hoped and this is the early signs of the service winding down it's still hard to truly tell but it's not a good look no matter how you spin it ubisoft is one of the few larger developers to keep pushing and the most recent releases on the service while cyberpunk NUMBER_TOKEN and ea's fifa series and madden series represent the biggest ips available on stadia at least since late NUMBER_TOKEN. the high profile closure of stadia games and entertainment though simply means that internally developed titles are shell and even the most confident fan can't sugarcoat this we've even seen a few extended exclusive titles jump ship since that announcement was made with open world adventure cheer now coming to pc via steam and the epic game store as well as psNUMBER_TOKEN the stadium version has been dropped altogether which is really disappointing to hear and not a great look for the service yet again what's equally frustrating though is that many of the games that are available do run exceptionally well on stadia there are a few notable exceptions and technical limitations here but it's hard to deny just how good stadia is when it's in full flow it's just a cloud console that outputs at various resolutions based upon your subscription tier this means as a developer you don't necessarily have to worry about optimizing your games for a base specification as there are technically two sliding tiers between NUMBER_TOKENp and NUMBER_TOKENk uhd this should mean that developing or porting could technically be quicker than it would be otherwise all there are other variables at play here a quick glance though at stadia's storefront and you'll quickly notice that aaa game titles are lacking indie titles and last gen reboots and remakes and reissues seem to be quite plentiful cloud gaming is ubiquitous but there are many games littering the steadiest store that can run
