Stadia doesn’t know the definition of ‘rage quit’. For the month of October, Pro users are getting not three – not four – but five games with their subscription! One title in particular that comes as a bit of a surprise is Control. Normally, the Pro games are focused on indies and are less serious in nature, at least, by my observation, but Control anything but that. It’s likely being added in celebration of Halloween since, well, it’s scary.
Other titles include DreamWorks Spirit Lucky’s Big Adventure, a game where you take on the role of a horse on an open frontier who must avoid a wrangler (if you’re into that kind of thing), Hello Engineer – Early Access (available First on Stadia), Cake Bash – an incredibly fun party slash family game, and Unto the End.
If you haven’t already claimed Human Fall Flat (and you totally should!) then you have until Thursday, September 30, 2021, to do so before it leaves the Stadia Pro lineup. Just so you’re aware, The Addam’s Family: Mansion Mayhem is also going to be available on the Stadia Store on October 1st, but this will not be a Pro title. Instead, you can pick it up for $39.99 USD. New add-on content for Phoenix Point and Embr will also be up for grabs on the same day, so be sure to check out all the details before then. For now, let’s take a look at your Stadia Pro goodies!
Control
A corruptive presence has invaded the Federal Bureau of Control…and only you have the power to stop it.

Unto the End
Unto The End is a hand-crafted cinematic platformer about a desperate journey home.
As the adventure unfolds, the decisions you make can carry consequences not just for you, but also for the creatures you encounter. Mastery of combat is critical, but fighting isn’t always the only way. Overcoming adversity can sometimes be better achieved through sharpness of perception.
Unforgiving terrain, fierce opponents, and paucity of supplies means there are scant opportunities for respite. Through the suffocating gloom of frigid caverns and biting winds of harsh mountain peaks, every step weighs heavy with the relentless struggle to make it home.
