Google Stadia is launching on 19 November with twelve games. That is if you are lucky enough to live in one of the countries where it will be available and, of course, only if you have paid for the pre-order and premium tier. And even that does not guarantee you will have access, since they are doing a phased launch: first come first served. There may be up to a two week wait for some who pre-ordered.
From Google:
We’re launching Stadia with 12 carefully-chosen games on day one, and an additional 14 will be available by the end of the year. There’s something for everyone here: a library of superb, critically-acclaimed titles spanning multiple genres and age ratings. Below you’ll see the full list of games available on November 19th, as well as games that will become available later in November and December.
Whether you bought Founder’s Edition or Premiere Edition you get a three-month subscription to Stadia Pro on us, where you can play Destiny 2: The Collection. If you’re looking to purchase and play games on November 19th, you can browse and buy them from the Stadia app.
The list of twelve titles available on Google Stadia's launch day are:
- Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
- Destiny 2: The Collection (included with Stadia Pro subscription)
- Gylt (the only game to be exclusively launched here)
- Just Dance 2020
- Kine
- Mortal Kombat 11
- Red Dead Redemption 2
- Rise of the Tomb Raider
- Samurai Shodown
- Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition
- Thumper
- Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition
By the end of 2019, Google said it plans to add the following fourteen games to the Stadia service:
- Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle
- Borderlands 3
- Darksiders: Genesis
- Dragonball Xenoverse 2
- Farming Simulator 19
- Final Fantasy XV
- Football Manager 2020
- Ghost Recon: Breakpoint
- Grid
- Metro Exodus
- NBA 2K20
- Rage 2
- Trials Rising
- Wolfenstein: Youngblood
None of these games are exclusive to Stadia. To be honest, I don't mind that we don't have access to the service yet, as it seems rather underwhelming.
