Top Confirmed Google Stadia Games And Rumored Ones

Google’s Stadia created quite a buzz when it was revealed at GDC last month. Formerly known as Google Project Stream, the Stadia turned out to be a streaming console with enough power to play games on any computing device, including your smartphone, tablet, and Chromebook.

However, the internet requirement for streaming games on Google Stadia was revealed to be quite high. A stable connection of 25 Mb/s is needed for playing games at 1080P. While for 4k gaming, 30 Mb/s of internet speed is required.

Google Stadia has quite a decent spec sheet for a next-generation console. It has a GPU performance of 10.7 Teraflops, a custom x86 CPU clocked at 2.7GHz along with 16 GB of high-speed RAM.

Even the best of specs are worthless without some decent games. So here is a list of all the confirmed and rumored games for the Google Stadia gaming console.

The PS5, in particular, is expected to have backwards compatibility along which the PS4 lacks. Xbox Scarlett will have a compelling first party game collection due to Microsoft’s latest acquisition of several game studios.

Furthermore, both of these consoles are likely to pass the 10.7 GPU performance Teraflops mark that Google Stadia boasts in its resume.

Nintendo Switch is also coming out with a more powerful and gamer-focused version to appeal to enthusiasts. The portable console is already a success in terms of first-party titles and overall sales.

Apple also recently announced its Arcade Subscription to compete against Google Stadia. It is an Xbox Gamepass type service exclusive for Apple games playable on any iOS device. It does not require any internet connection and works on up to 6 Apple devices at a single time.

Google Stadia looks tall and scary at a glance, but it becomes less intimidating when you take a look at the competition.

Despite the hardware, only the games themselves will define every console’s success. Titles like Elder Scrolls 6, Starfield and other first party games will need to be in the library of first Google Stadia games, for the console to be a success.
