Furthermore, we can expect to see over 120 games released this year for Stadia. Many that we don’t even know about yet! And, Google lowered the entry bar by giving new users Stadia Pro for free for a month when signing up. With new games added each month to Stadia Pro, members are currently enjoying 16 free games to play.
