Google Stadia adds Jotun and Sundered, announces Elder Scrolls Online launch date, and rolls out 1440p streaming

It’s increasingly looking like cloud game streaming services are here to stay. These services are useful ways to enjoy the latest games for those who don’t have, can’t buy, or won’t buy gaming hardware, whether we’re talking about consoles or high-end PCs. Google Stadia is one of the leading cloud gaming services, and Google seems to be fully invested in growing this service. Now, the company is adding more titles and features to Stadia as they have announced in their latest blog post.

Jotun: Valhalla Edition & Sundered: Eldritch Edition on Google Stadia

One of Stadia’s biggest shortcomings is the fact that it doesn’t yet have a vast selection of games, but that list keeps expanding with new announcements practically every week. Yesterday, Google announced that 2 more titles are now available for sale. Jotun: Valhalla Edition takes players to the world of Norse mythology as they claim their place in the pantheon of heroes while the 2D platformer Sundered: Eldrich Edition features amazing visuals and equally amazing challenges. Both games are available for purchase on Stadia right now ($14.99 for Jotun and $19.99 for Sundered).

The Elder Scrolls Online Launch Date, and More

If you’re a fan of The Elder Scrolls series and online MMOs are your thing, then you might be glad to know that the online installment The Elder Scrolls Online is landing on Stadia on June 16th and will become available for free for Stadia Pro subscribers. The game will feature support for crossplay with PC players and will also allow you to get the Morrowind chapter as free content.

Among other content options coming soon, the “Hobbies” DLC for The Crew 2 is also landing for the Stadia version tomorrow, the new Aftermath expansion for Mortal Kombat 11 is now available for purchase on Stadia, and PUBG is adding Ranked Mode for more competitive gameplay (though only if you’re using a controller). The Crew 2 costs $49.99 on Stadia though the “Hobbies” update will arrive for free, while Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath costs $39.99.

Finally, desktop Chrome users will be glad to know that they will be able to play Google Stadia games at 1440p resolution now, so long as they meet all the requirements for 1440p/4K gaming (like having a 1440p or 4K monitor, obviously) and their Internet connection allows for it. Previously, this was capped at 1080p, so it’s good to know that we’re getting more options.
