“We’re well on our way to over 100 new games launching on Stadia in 2021, and we’re continuing to make Stadia a great place to play games on devices you already own,” Stadia developer marketing lead, Nate Ahearn, told our sister site GamesIndustry.biz.
“I’d tell any non-believers to take notice of how we’re continuing to put our words into action, as we grow the Stadia Makers program and partner with AAA studios like Capcom, EA, Square Enix, Ubisoft, and others.”
These partnerships, of course, became increasingly more important when, just 14 months after Stadia’s high-profile launch, Google revised its streaming service strategy and confirmed it was closing down all internal game development and begin providing its tech to third-party publishers. Consequently, Jade Raymond left to form Haven Studios and took several former senior Stadia developers with her.
