Feels like we just started the month recently and got some new games for my library... has it already been 2 weeks?

Well yesterday was Stadia's Connect event and they showcased some new games and features.

Looks cool with the 'click to play'.  Still can't figure out how to 'stream' my games as of yet.  But I'm really enjoying Stadia so far and with new Assassin's Creed and Hitman coming ... NOICE!

Today, Stadia published its latest Stadia Connect featuring 16 new games coming to Stadia (including 5 exclusives), content updates to Stadia Pro and several Stadia Games and Entertainment developers. See below for a summary of the news.
