Google at the beginning of the month announced it was shutting down its internal studios that have been developing games for its streaming platform, Stadia. Despite the closures, Google plans to continue to operate Stadia gaming service and offer the $10 per month Stadia Pro membership.
In a recent post to the Stadia community, Google says it plans to release over 100 games to the streaming service this year.
The confirmed list of games coming to the service includes Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition and Shantae: Risky's Revenge - Director's Cut on February 23, It came from space and ate our brains on March 2, FIFA 21 on March 17, Kaze and the Wild Masks on March 26, Judgment on April 23, as well as Killer Queen Black, Street Power Football, and Hellpoint with unspecified release dates.
"These games represent just a sampling of the more than 100 games that will be added to the Stadia store for our players in 2021 to share, experience, and play with friends," reads the update from the Stadia team.

If the highlights of your 100 games is two Shantae games, that says a lot
The consoles usually get over 500 games every year. The Switch for example has over 3000 games already. Don't how many the others have, but 100 games in an entire year is not impressive in any way.
How many of these games are really relevant anyway.
So, out of all of those 100 games, is any of them going to be a 1st party?
No. They closed all internal studios. My bet is that they are going to get some straightforward PC releases and call it a day.
I know, I was being sarcastic. XD
It's both funny and sad to think that Google is just going to move along with Stadia even though every single thing that could go wrong has gone wrong. They haven't even released an original title yet and already they're dissolving their internal studios.
With titles like that, Stadia is aiming to be the next OnLive. I wonder how much Google has lost because I can't imagine it gets any better from here.
