Google Stadia has announced some new games are coming to the service as well as launching three free demos over this week for all users. Each demo will require a Stadia account to access, but neither Stadia Pro nor a form of payment is required to play these titles.

Starting today, 20th October, users can play a demo for PAC-MAN Mega Tunnel Battle, where 64 players go head-to-head in huge elimination style matches. Introducing new power-ups, character customisation, and a spectator mode that allows players to impact the game from the sidelines, it looks like PAC-MAN is the latest popular franchise to take the battle royale route.

Tomorrow, 21st October, Google will add a demo for the HUMANKIND beta. It’s a turn-based 4X game in which you expand your empire, discover new technologies and master fully tactical battles.

Then finally the day after on 22nd October, we’re getting a demo of Ubisoft’s upcoming open world mythology game Immortals: Fenyx Rising. In it, you play as a winged demigod who takes on mythological beasts as he sets out to save the Greek gods and their home from a dark curse. This demo is an exclusive preview designed for Stadia, featuring new content different from what's already been seen.

In addition to this, Stadia has also announced EA and Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is also coming to the streaming service on 24th November. Playing as a fugitive Jedi, your task is to explore the remnants of a lost civilisation as you fight to restore the Jedi Order and your own survival. Hello Engineer, a construction building spin-off of Hello Neighbor, will also launch first as a Stadia exclusive.

Google Stadia Pro can be played on modern laptops, smartphones, and tablets. Sign up here for a free one month trial, after which the service costs £8.99 a month.
