Google Stadia adding 4K gaming on the web as two new games are announced

There a one-two punch of good news for Google Stadia users as we're winding down the week.

First up, Stadia users have found that Google has begun rolling out support for 4K gaming on the web. 4K support was previously only available on the Chromecast Ultra televisions, but now folks on Reddit and at 9to5Google are now able to game at 4K resolution in a web browser.

To play at 4K you'll need a $9.99/month Stadia Pro subscription. Google says that you'll need "at least" a 35Mbps internet connection, too, but some folks are still getting 4K on what Google classifies as "Good" and "OK" connections.

Google announced this week that two new games are coming soon Stadia, too. First is Relicta, a first-person physics-based puzzle game where you use gravity and magnetism to solve riddles.

Also coming to Stadia is The Turing Test. This is another first-person puzzle game and it's set on the Jupiter moon of Europa. The game tasks you with solving puzzles that can include switching between multiple perspectives to find out why the ground crew that was previously there has disappeared.

Google isn't saying when Relicta and The Turing Test will launch on Stadia or how much they'll cost, but the company promises that they'll be available "soon."
