GAME UPDATES ON STADA This week saw no new Google Stadia game releases.

The promise of 100 new games has notably stopped appearing in Google’s most recent community updates and blog articles; the last time it did so was in March.

UPDATES Google Stadia is experimenting with a novel game testing strategy.
With more than 120 currently available, Stadia has increased its focus on game trials in recent months. Those trials have mainly concentrated on different lengths of time, with a trial being playable only once for a specific length of time. However, Stadia is now experimenting with a new trial technique that is based more on missions and accomplishments than on time.
Google and Game Developer both approved the new testing technique. Trials based on achievements are now running through an A/B test on Stadia using Control and Sniper Elite 4. It appears that most players spend about an hour on the first mission before earning the Beginning of the End using the new trial system. These trials still have a time limit of 60 minutes.
According to Karan Arora, senior product manager at Stadia, the inspiration for this new style of trial comes from the fact that creators produce worthwhile achievements that highlight the essence of playing their games. The experience of a new city, according to Arora, is better when you have direction from friends or tour guides than than just exploring on your own in a short amount of time. This new trial approach is similar to that experience.
