The Google Stadia Launch Lineup is… Paltry

The launch of Google Stadia is so close you can almost taste it and it’s leaving us with a bad feeling in our gut too.

Launching on November 19, Google has announced every game that will be available on launch day as well as the rest of the games players can expect to see by the end of the year.

And it reads like a special kind of sad. As though you are living in the future but stuck with old furniture.

The lineup for the launch will include 12 chosen games including titles such as Red Dead Redemption 2 and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. The additional 14 titles set for release later on in the year, will include NBA 2K20 and Borderlands 3, along with many others.

Here is the full list of games available at launch:

• Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
• Destiny 2
• Gylt
• Just Dance 2020
• Kine
• Mortal Kombat 11
• Red Dead Redemption 2
• Rise of the Tomb Raider 20 Year Celebration Edition
• Samurai Showdown
• Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition
• Thumper
• Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition

And here is the list for the 14 additional games being released for 2019:

• Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle
• Borderlands 3
• Darksiders Genesis
• Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2
• Farming Simulator 19
• Final Fantasy XV
• Football Manager 2020
• Ghost Recon Breakpoint
• GRID
• Metro Exodus
• NBA 2K20
• Rage 2

The launch next week is especially for the owners of Founder’s Edition or Premiere Edition. But even if you did purchase the Founder’s Edition, you may not receive it on launch day.

For the rest of the world, Stadia Base will be available in 2020. Also available in 2020, will be many more titles coming to Stadia including Doom: Eternal, WatchDogs: Legion, Gods & Monsters and Cyberpunk 2077.
