Google Stadia takes a quality-over-quantity approach to its library of games. There aren’t a lot of titles available — though that’s been rapidly changing over the past few months — but the few that are available are excellent. From massive RPGs like Red Dead Redemption 2 to indie horror adventures like Gylt, Google Stadia has a little something for everyone. Here are the best Google Stadia games you should start playing first.
Most of the games on our list cost some money, even if you’re a Stadia Pro subscriber. There are a few, however, that are available for free through a Pro membership.
