Google Stadia is officially slated for a release on November 19. Now, the company has announced the first games studio that’ll be a part of Stadia Games and Entertainment. The studio will be based in Montreal and create exclusive games that utilize the cloud gaming platform.
“Google’s very first exclusive studio will produce exclusive, original content across a diverse portfolio,” said industry veteran Jade Raymond. She further added the city’s rich gaming culture and heritage that launched multiple studios and many outstanding games.
She also mentioned that Stadia Games and Entertainment will join hands with other studios to help them bring Stadia technology to other games and take them to the next level.
“Stadia is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace; these diverse perspectives will shape the games we create together. We’re committed to building an environment that will empower the developers who work at Stadia to create new, unique gaming experiences,” said Jade Raymond.
We’re just a few weeks away from Stadis’s November 19th release via a Founder Edition Bundle for $130. This edition includes three months of Stadia Pro which costs $10 a month. It lets you stream games up to 4K HDR at 60fps, includes a copy of Destiny 2, offers discounts on all games on Stadia store, as well as access to a collection of free games.
