Google Stadia’s first game-dev studio opens in Montreal

Google is launching its cloud-gaming service Stadia on November 19. The company is positioning this as the first giant leap into a console-less future. But one thing that will help Stadia succeed is marquee, exclusive content. So hopefully Google is starting to make some of its own games. Well, today, the company revealed that it is opening a studio in Montreal to do exactly that. That team, however, probably won’t get much done in the three weeks before Stadia debuts.

In a Google blog post, Stadia Games & Entertainment boss Jade Raymond announced the Montreal team as the company’s first game studio. She also explained what players should expect from this team.
