Google launches one last game to Stadia before it’s shut down for good

We're just a few days away from Stadia's final closure, but Google has decided to launch one last game on the platform before shutting it down. The title in question is Worm Game, a Snake-like offering developed by the Stadia team that was used to test the cloud features of the platform.

Before Google launched Stadia, the company needed a game to test the platform. That game was Worm Game, and it's now available to play on Stadia. As a part of the history of Google's cloud gaming platform, which will be shut down in just a couple of days, Google decided to launch Worm Game to the public as a last farewell to Stadia.

The team describes Worm Game as a “humble title” used to test many of Stadia's features before the platform's public debut in 2019. According to the Stadia team, this title won't win any GOTY awards, but they still spent quite some time with it. As such, they thought it would be a good idea to share it with Stadia's users for a last hurrah.

Overall, the game looks a lot like Snake but with a few changes to make it more interesting. Besides allowing you to play in a multiplayer environment, some levels have a labyrinth layout, and others feature puzzle mechanics that will put your skills to the test. If you have an active Stadia account, you can try it now HERE.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
