Google added ten more games to the launch collection of its streaming service Stadia, only one day before the new platform is set to release (via PCGamesN).

Stadia’s ace in the hole was id Software’s Doom Eternal, but that game ended up experiencing a delay until March, 2020. Of course, it still has Tequila Works’ Gylt and that will be a Stadia exclusive, but losing Doom Eternal was a blow to the launch line-up. Now, Google has announced that ten more games will be coming to Stadia when it releases tomorrow. These are Attack on Titan: Final Battle 2, Farming Simulator 2019, Final Fantasy XV, Football Manager 2020, GRID, Metro Exodus, NBA 2K20, Rage 2, Trials Rising, and Wolfenstein: Youngblood.
Excited to announce that we are INCREASING the Day One launch line-up of titles for @GoogleStadia – we now have TWENTY TWO games launching with the platform on Tuesday. Huge thank you to our game developer and publisher partners for bringing more titles #stadia

Lots of the games coming to the new streaming platform were multi-platform releases, like Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Rage 2, and Tomb Raider Definitive Edition. However, Stadia Pro subscribers will be able to play Destiny 2: The Collection and Samurai Shodown at no extra charge. Google mentioned that Stadia Pro isn’t quite like Xbox Game Pass or EA Access, and said that the offer includes ‘4K/HDR streaming, 5.1 sound, exclusive discounts and access to some free games. Roughly one free game per month give or take. Starting with Destiny 2.’
It seems that there’s been a shake up with Stadia because Google only showed off the original 12-game launch line-up one week ago. And, there was that Stadia AMA where we found out that the product will be missing a lot of features to begin with.
