At launch, Google’s Play Pass subscription service already had a lot of value packed in. Even still, It’s continued to add in loads of games and apps for just about every type of person’s interests, and while it hasn’t really appealed to hardcore mobile gamers, which is totally a thing, it’s done enough to become […]

In a new APK Insights report, 9to5Google has found code buried in version 3.9 of the Stadia application for Android that points to several new features that may be coming to gamers very soon.

Google is apparently not done celebrating the tenth anniversary of Chromebooks yet because it’s buried a secret mini-game in the operating system for you to enjoy.
