400 Stadia games on the way from 200 developers
Things started shaky to say the least when Google launched its game streaming service, Stadia. Although the basic technology (the actual game streaming) worked perfectly well from the beginning, all possible functions were missing and it was an incredibly bare-scraped service. Since then, however, Google has been working with Stadia, which today is much sharper, but still lacks games.
Fortunately, that seems to be changing. In an interview with Mobile Syrup, Stadia’s director of games, Jack Buser, says that Google is in the gaming world to stay and has lots of fun on the way:
“And even though a year feels like a long time, we’re just getting started. We’re in this for the long haul. Part of being in business development is that games take a long time to build, so I get to know what’s going to happen with Stadia three years from now, four years now. And to think about that long-term vision and how exciting that is — this is going to be the adventure of a lifetime.
What I can tell you is that we’ve built a roadmap of about 400 games in development right now from 200 developers. So when those games land, whether it’s in the calendar year of 2021 or beyond, is something that you’ll hear more from us in the future. Will there be more developers and more games on the platform? Absolutely.”
