This Friday you’ll find a new category, Kids & family, within the Stadia store. It’s a place where grownups and kids alike can find family-friendly, age-appropriate games, including many based on favorite movies, shows, and franchises. We’re launching Kids & family with a bunch of games, including five titles from Outright Games that are hitting the Stadia store August 13.

PAW Patrol the Movie: Adventure City Calls leads the new Stadia store category’s launch, along with another PAW Patrol excursion in PAW Patrol Mighty Pups: Save Adventure Bay. Both games put players in control of their favorite pups as they race to save friends and use pawsome teamwork in two-player co-op modes.

In Ice Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure, help guide the endearing saber-tooth squirrel on a quest to gather the hallowed Crystal Nuts of myth.

Stepping back in time from the Ice Age to the late Cretaceous period, Gigantosaurus: The Game invites up to four friends to cooperate in platforming challenges, then race one another between levels to rescue their big buddy, the beloved Giganto!

Then it’s off to flights of fantasy and legendary adventure in DreamWorks Dragons Dawn of New Riders. Toothless and all the rest of your beloved Vikings are back and ready for a quest that will take them through puzzles, traps, and monsters on a mission to save their imprisoned friends.

You can claim PAW Patrol Mighty Pups: Save Adventure Bay for free with Stadia Pro when it launches on Friday, and you can buy all five games starting this Friday in the Stadia store.

  • PAW Patrol Mighty Pups: Save Adventure Bay for $39.99 USD
  • PAW Patrol the Movie: Adventure City Calls for $39.99 USD
  • Ice Age: Scrat's Nutty Adventure for $29.99 USD
  • Gigantosaurus: The Game for $29.99 USD
  • DreamWorks Dragons Dawn of New Riders for $24.99 USD

And in other Pro news, August 12 is your last chance to claim the fantastical, thrilling suspense-adventure Little Nightmares II for free with Stadia Pro.

Play FORECLOSED instantly starting August 12

The government has foreclosed on your entire life. They took everything: your name, your humanity, your life. But that also means they’ve left you with nothing to lose! You’re off the grid and on the run in FORECLOSED, a haunting, story-driven action-adventure journey through a cyberpunk dystopia where in the eyes of the law, you simply don’t exist. Buy this Stadia Makers title in the Stadia store on Thursday, August 12 for $15.99 for a limited time.

Play Rainbow Six Siege with the Stadia team, free this weekend

Free Play Days are back! If you’re a Stadia Pro member, get all the Rainbow Six Siege you can handle starting Friday, August 13 at 8 AM PT, until Monday August 16 at 4 AM PT. Grab your friends and get ready for five vs. five competitive shooting with a tactical team twist! You can also enjoy cross-play with friends on PC. And with cross-progression, you can save and share your progress too!

To celebrate these Free Play Days, on August 13 from 10 AM PT to 12 PM PT, Stadia team members will play with Stadia Creators and the community in Rainbow Six Siege. Check out the schedule below, and follow Stadia on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for more for the latest on game day.

Valhalla awaits the brave

The Siege of Paris is here! Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s second big expansion launches Thursday. Visit Francia, find new weapons, discover more skills, and take part in Black Box Infiltration missions. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: The Siege of Paris is coming as part of the Season Pass (included in the Gold and Ultimate Editions of Assassin's Creed Valhalla).

And of course, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Ultimate Edition, including Wrath of the Druids and the upcoming Siege of Paris, is included with Ubisoft+ on Stadia for those who are subscribed.

That’s all for this week! See you on Stadia.

On Rainbow Six Siege: "You can also enjoy cross-play with friends on PC." I just logged in and it seems we still can't do this as you can only party up with friends on Stadia?

@MrLaaciitis you've been able to do crossplay with PC for a long long time. You can opt into and opt out of it. If you want to join matchmaking with PC you'll need to make sure you opted into it.

I can't wait to rate kids games on Metacritic... and I'm not being sarcastic here!

MrLaaciitis

@TheWebTech Yes, crossplay matchmaking is available. But it is not possible to party up with friends on PC. The only way to play with friends on PC is to matchmake simultaneously and hope you get thrown into the same game. @StadiaTeam Is this getting implemented anytime soon? It has now been quite some time since the launch.

Who needs Ark and Mafia when we have Paw Patrol......... Taste the sarcasm.

 

I'd you're trying to convince anyone you're an alternative and have anything close to AAA titles, this is not the way

Now let's add the category "New AAA *Games". (*denotes not older than 2yrs) to the store! As an adult man who's paying for the Pro subscription and buying the games and equipment needed for the service, that's truly the category I wanna see added and start to grow.

Long live Stadia!

@MrLaaciitis fair, I guess. That said you can't party up cross platform on any platform for the game. 

Also It doesn't make much sense to ask Stadia to add it to the game. You wouldn't tell Microsoft to add features to games third parties create on Xbox and PC.

Contact Ubisoft through their site or social media. https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/help/game/rainbow-six-siege

That kids section is awesome, really. I think supporting the youth is important.

However... Why is it so easy for you guys to announce something, only to never get back on it (when it gets delayed or when there are concerns?)

I mean:

  1. where is Mafia?
  2. Where is Ark?
  3. What about EA, will they support you or is it just these 5 games?
  4. Why are the new F1 and NBA games not announced?
    1. Why did that particular publisher decide to NOT make new iterations?
  5. Why are we getting so many smaller titles at the moment, while last year we did get more bigger names? It's pretty easy to get 100 titles per year when it's only smaller titles? 

And why o why do you guys never ever respond? I mean, even if you tag Stadia and say Amplitude Studios to ask if they are thinking about getting Endless Space after HUMANKIND to the platform there is just 0 response. it's not even a whine-post, its just a question but no one ever responds. Why are companies afraid to give an answer, even if it the answer is no?

Last update on ARK, it is coming in Summer per twitter on May 25th. If taken literally that ends Sept 22. So 40 days to go. The developer has not said anything about it since May 25th. Not sure what you all want Stadia to do about it.  

TheWebTech

@MisterMarcoo it's because they legally can't. They are not their games to give additional updates on. The publishers make binding agreements with the platforms they distribute to. The game publishers tell them when they expect to release the games and if Stadia can promote the date, if games are delayed it isn't up to Stadia to announce the delays, in-fact in many cases Stadia may not concretely know the updated dates far in advance of when we hear about them.

As for this one:

Why are we getting so many smaller titles at the moment, while last year we did get more bigger names? It's pretty easy to get 100 titles per year when it's only smaller titles? 

There are a number of reasons. There are more indie devs and smaller studios than large AAA studios. AAA games take longer to make. Every platform padds out their subscription during the off season with indies and smaller titles, hell that's basically the majority of what you get on gamepass right now. Additionally any AAA games released now, won't be a hot purchase during the holidays.

Aside from that we have multiple AAA games we know are coming, think the latest one we heard about was Rainbow 6 Extraction.

If you want EA to state what games are coming, talk to EA, not Stadia. You want to know when the Mafia games will finally be coming, why not ask the studio creating the game?

One thing i dream of, has a 41 years old father who bought 3 Nintendo Switch Lite to my 3 kids of 9, 7 and 6 years old, is a NHL game coming on Stadia. I've already been playing and introduced Red Dead Redemption, Jedi Fallen Order, Tokyo 2020 Olympics Games, F1 2020, Assassin's Creed Origins and Resident Evil VII to my kids who really enjoy Stadia to offer titles Nintendo doesn't offer, an NHL game coming thru Stadia will just complete the job of making your offer the perfect extension for playing games without the need nor the temptation of looking others next gen consoles.

Continue your nice job of making me sharing more easily your offer with my family and my friends month after month.

Stadia really scraping the bottom of the barrel for streamers there. I like Meg, but Jesus wept, Viviplays? Why?! He's like a tax return but less entertaining.

This is great news! I've been playing Stadia games with my 9 year old, but had to be careful about choosing the right games, as it's not always easy to find the she ratings. With the new family/children's section, this will be so much easier, thank you.

Pretty disappointed with the graphics of the new paw patrol game. Shadows are very blocky/glitchy. Feels like a downgrade to the previous game

About the Author
Born the illegitimate love child of a great lord and a lowly bar tender, Vivi spent much of his formative years as a street urchin, learning how to stay out of trouble and avoid the city guard. Upon reaching adulthood he had formed a set of skills that were invaluable to the unsavoury types for whom possession was simply an obstacle. Luckily, he managed to avoid falling in with these crowds, instead opting to help right injustices against the down trodden. Today he stands as a myth, a legend, told to the downtrodden youth of a brighter future and a warden protecting them.
