Google Stadia's early adopters are getting a couple of nice surprises this week.
First up, there are three new games coming to Stadia this week. Borderlands 3 and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 are both arriving today, December 17th, with the former title getting a limited time discount. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint will be available starting tomorrow, December 18th, and it'll also get a limited time sale.
Here's the pricing breakdown for all three new titles:

Google has also revealed that the Stadia version of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint will come with a special feature. It'll include Stream Connect, which lets you see what your teammates see by streaming multiple viewpoints into single screen, which ought to make teamwork much easier.
After originally announcing that Stadia would have just 12 games playable at launch, it's good to see Google continue to expand the lineup for folks who took the plunge on the new gaming service. That number of launch titles was bumped up to 22 on the day before Stadia's launch, and Google has added four more in the month of December. There are more titles coming next year, like Doom Eternal and Cyberpunk 2077, and we'll hopefully see many more games added throughout 2020.
Also announced this week is that Google is giving Stadia Founders an extra Buddy Pass. With a Buddy Pass, Stadia Founders can give a friend a free 3-month trial of Stadia Pro with games to play as long as they're subscribed. The Stadia Founders Edition originally came with one Buddy Pass, and now Google is treating Stadia Founders to a second, which is a nice holiday surprise.
