Whether you’re into golf, monster trucks, or arcade platform games, this week we’ve got a little something for everyone. Dig in:

Trying new games is only a click away

Starting today, a 30 minute trial of PAC-MAN™ Mega Tunnel Battle is now available on Stadia! Jump into the full experience of 64-player games, invading mazes to eat dots, chase power-ups, and devour other players to reach the top of the leaderboard.

It's all part of new trials offering timed access to full games on Stadia, now available for thirteen titles (and counting), all without needing to create a Stadia account! Find them all on Stadia.com/games – and play the four new trials you can try right now:

Nothing is out of bounds in Golf With Your Friends!

Why have friends if not to play Golf... With Your Friends! Get ready to take on courses filled with fast-paced, exciting, simultaneous mini golf for up to 12 players!

Tee off, Stadians. Golf With Your Friends is now available on sale until April 21 in the Stadia store, just $16.99 or $15.99 with Pro.

Free Add-on Content for The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark

Irish developer Spooky Doorway reunites us with our paranormal investigator for this eggciting new case, One Flew Into the Cuckoo's Nest, available for free to play on Stadia.

Welcome to another case for McQueen and Dooley in the quaint little city of Twin Lakes. This time, our intrepid detectives find a note saying they should head to the Twin Lakes Botanical Gardens. What could possibly be in store? Vegetarian werewolves? A mean, green mother from inner space? A space ghost on a trip coast to coast?

Play it now by claiming with your Pro subscription or purchasing on the Stadia store for $12.99.

Play it at no additional cost: The Elder Scrolls Online

Battle, craft, steal, or explore, and combine different types of equipment and abilities to create your own style of play. You can play The Elder Scrolls Online at no additional cost on Stadia until 7am PT on April 26!

That’s all we’ve got for this week! As always, keep your eyes here for more Stadia news, and be sure to follow us on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for all the latest updates.

See you on Stadia!

@StadiaTeam For those on the fence, I highly recommend taking advantage of the 120 mins free trial of Dragon Quest XI. I played it a few years back when it was launched on PC and it's definitely one of the best J-RPGs I've ever played.

Don't get turned off by the old school turn based combat (or if you like it, then more power to you!). The story is amazing and will give you sorts of different feelings/emotions. I'm so jealous for those that get to experience the game for the first time.

I'm feeling a bit dissapointed with this TWoS, I agree that you're not publishing today any pro games this week, no problem. But I had the hope to see any news about deliver us the moon, game from wired productions that got removed as a pro game. I hope to see the pro games announced soon. Have a nice day! @stadi

It's great that all these trials are being made available, but who is this being advertised to?  Preaching to the faithful will not gain new users, which is essentially what Stadia needs to garner new games.  I'm really hoping for a push in Summer.  Phil Harrison has been whisper quiet for more than a year now and the silence is deafening :disappointed_face:

If you live in the US and are frustrated by the games list that much there is a thing that rhymes with Tuna you can also mess around with while messing around with Stadia.  It’s also less than ten bucks. Both work excellent!

Bit disappointing this week. Honestly, I’d be happy with Mafia 1 or 2 at this point, or even Arkham Knight!

Please negotiate new deals with the AAA developers/publishers!

You know you are in for a bad week when Pac Man is in your banner. But I guess with that 30 minute trial you might be able to queue into a game.

Thanks for the blog! Although I must admit that it is a little lackluster today. Does this mean that we'll be seeing another blog next week to know what the pro games will be?

I was mulling over buying dragon quest so the trail might win me over. Let's face it I'll probably buy it anyway :grinning_face_with_sweat:

Also, 9to5 has a new limited time solo mode. It's pretty fun and makes it much easier to find a match.

It's spring. Where is Cities Skylines as announced? Don't let it become the new mafia please? And please please please bring more popular games and make some power moves.

For a company the size of Google I must say it has lost a lot of its shine. Google's lucky Xbox and ps5 are sold out everywhere and that gfx cards are being bought it by scalpers. Cause else I would have stopped my subscription back when they launched only to never return. I like Humankind, division, Destiny and Chorus for instance, but the content drought is killing!

I hear some RUMORS going around saying OUTRIDERS IS COMING TO STADIA PRO?!? :smiling_face_with_sunglasses::open_hands::fire:

I am a huge fan of stadia but lately I've been concerned, I don't know what's going on which many of us don't alike. It seems like stadia is going backwards instead of forward we're in the month of April and we've barely forgotten any games that generated true interest. 2021 was going great and now it's like we're taking a step backwards and we also haven't heard from Phil Harrison in 2 years, please hire someone more capable, that can be open and transparent with the stadia community which we deserve. If you want to try new gamers to the platform just coming up with dlc and games that don't Garner much interest isn't gonna cut. Which Stadians want this platform to succeed and frankly Phil Harrison isn't giving much confidence towards that please listen to the stadia community it's your best bet.

Stadia had the potential to be one of the best platforms. It's sad to see how Google cared so little about it, and never really gave Stadia the support it needed. I hope I'm wrong, but it really looks like we are looking at the last days of Stadia

I like stadia but we need to see some more AAA games come soon. Or even the updated free Pro Evolution soccer game would be cool for free on stadia.

I tried playing the 2 hour trial of Dragon Quest XI, but it didn't want to work over the Chromecast Ultra. So i found a Demo on the Playstation Store and played it that way. It's actually a very strange decision to restrict playing these demos only via a browser, but not via Chromecast. That was a really bad experience. Hope next time you can offer stuff like this without such nonsense restrictions.

Looks awesome! We love pacman in my house.
