A new month approaches, and that means a new batch of free games with Stadia Pro! Four games are headed to Stadia Pro on Monday March 1, including the return of one of gaming’s most beloved series.

PixelJunk Raiders is the latest creation from the geniuses at Q-Games. Planet Tantal is under attack by fiendish aliens bent on harvesting the population’s life force! Shake off that hypersleep and slash, smash, raid, and rescue your way through hundreds of unique missions, all while unraveling the mystery of the enigmatic Keepers. It’s new, it’s exciting, and it’s Only on Stadia. Next week, you’ll be able to play it free with Stadia Pro. 

Want to see how it plays, and get a look at the striking cell-shaded visuals, fiendish monsters, and intense combat? Check out the spankin’ new trailer! 

PixelJunk Raiders uses State Share to do some absolutely amazing things not quite like anything you’ve ever seen in a video game. We’ll be revealing much more about how it works later this week. 

Plus, there are more games headed to Stadia Pro in March 

Mix your way across a universe of light and sound in AVICII Invector, launching straight into Stadia Pro. Become a DJ in this cosmic musical adventure, playing your way through tracks by the legendary Avicii. 

Also coming to Stadia Pro in March: test your reflexes in the multiplayer mayhem of PAC-MAN Mega Tunnel Battle, then challenge your deductive reasoning in the strategic masterpiece Reigns.

You can claim all four of these games free with Stadia Pro starting March 1, and keep them as long as you maintain your Stadia Pro subscription. They’re just the latest in a growing library of games. Not a Stadia Pro subscriber? Sign up for a one-month free trial and see everything there is to play!

Also, February 28 is your last chance to claim Kine, Hello Neighbor: Secret Neighbor, and Monster Jam Steel Titans free with Stadia Pro, and March 2 is the last day to claim Outcasters. Get them today and keep them as long as you’re a Stadia Pro member.

sorry this just doesnt impress me, it feels like landfill to make a hill. We need bigger games on Pro, Gamepass has a bunch of good games, if they had good cloud gaming on a pc id consider them :disappointed_face: Stadia needs to really bump up their game

I'm all for free games, but I'm honestly getting tired of getting free indie games I haven't heard of. At this point I'd be happier getting AAA games from 3 years ago than I am with this niche games.

The list of games with Pro, coming additions and games on sale is pretty nice. Keep it going, nice to give a little push for the indie games that usually get buried into the noise generated by bigger titles

If you want to boost Pro subscription. You need more AAA games.

Pixel Junk Raiders looks stunning! 

However, the rest of the lineup.....it’s okay. 

If there was ever a time to lose a bunch of money to acquire a bunch of hit AAA titles....it’s now. I mean **bleep**. Buy BioWare and double their team, then bring Anthem 2.0 to stadia as they make more games for the company. Save someone already dying. 

JUST do something, and quickly before it backfires beyond repair. These comments are mainly negative and it’s discouraging for outsiders who can think of a million ways to save you.....

Everyone looking for Ark. I smell a mid month pro game. :winking_face:

 

Keep up the good work.

I think from a Tech point of view, Stadia is absolutely amazing, and at least for me, where I live, it is significantly faster to load games and more stable, than GFN. My problem is GAMES - we need more AAA ones in the PRO sub ! Indies are cool, but big ones like ESO, D2, PUBG make you dream !! Come on Stadia - I believe in you - do not drop the ball on us !!!

Positively surprised with the PixelJunk Raiders announcement ! That looks magnificent! I am willing to bet we'll get some surprise drops in March also. :index_pointing_up::beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:  STADIA making moves yet again!

Oh man.. Pixeljuni looks okay. But the rest?!? We need more AAA games. Don't need a high end 10,7 tflop streaming machine for indie  games that could run on my smartphone.. like pac-man (wtf?!?)

You gotta do better than that. Few game scraps thrown here and there won't get you out of this mess you're in. Fix your games, get bigger ones, hire a new leader, communicate better, whatever, do something. Stadia is currently going downhill with no signs of slowing down.

I don't usually get excited from Indie games, but Pixel junk Raiders look pretty decent. Getting some Monster Hunter vibes.

Good thing it's included with Pro :slightly_smiling_face:

Wooow Reigns on Pro! That f-ing game is 3€ lol! 

Where is Ark? Where is Mafia? Why are the other two EA games unannounced? When will Ubi+ finally get to Europe? Will we ever get R6? Where is a roadmap? Are there any 3rd party exclusives coming?

We are almost in month 3 of 2021. It looks like those 100 games are 90% indie again....

 

Google, don't be Google about it. Normally it's fine to be vague, but now we invest money in YOUR platform. Give us something or should we wait for that class action suit?

Come on...

Please add more multiplayer games to pro there isnt that many multiplayer games for pro

Nice variety of games!  A little something for everyone!  Of course a AAA title would be nice, but I would prefer to have the next game than the last game.  Appreciate the consistent improvement, I've amassed a library of over 50 games since Jan 1 with Pro and a few purchased on discount, so I really think it's great.
