Back in 2019, Google launched the Nest Hub Max, a larger sibling to the already-popular Nest Hub.

Back in February, Google promised that by the end of 2021, Stadia would have 100 games to play, and while that initially seemed like a tall order, this week marks the fulfillment of that wild promise with the release of the long-awaited title Chorus, which happens to be that 100th game!
