Electronic Arts and Google announced a partnership to launch five EA games on Stadia - Google’s cloud-based gaming platform.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order- the single-player, third-person action-adventure Star Wars game from Respawn and EA - is scheduled to launch on Stadia by the end of this year. EA Sports FIFA and Madden NFL are scheduled to be available to players on Stadia this winter, with more games to follow in 2021.

Cloud is opening up exciting new possibilities for play,” said Andrew Wilson, CEO of Electronic Arts. “In partnering with Google Stadia, we have an opportunity to deliver some creative and innovative game experiences on an exciting new platform.”

"We’re thrilled to see some of Electronic Arts’ biggest hits come to the Stadia. I can't wait to play EA Sports FIFA, Madden NFL, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order on my favorite screens instantly with the simple click of a button," said Phil Harrison, GM and VP at Google.

Stadia is Google’s new cloud based gaming platform that revolutionizes the way gamers access, play and enjoy their favorite games. Stadia lets you play the latest video games instantly with one-click on TVs, laptops, desktops, and select tablets and phones. With Stadia you can buy games that run at up to 1080p/60fps, or play with the Stadia Pro subscription that gives players access to play a selection of games up to 4K/60fps and HDR, along with free games to claim each month.

It is free to try, and anyone who signs up will get two free months of Stadia Pro with instant access to nine games, including GRID, Destiny 2: The Collection, and Thumper. Players can purchase even more games on the store, which will remain theirs to play even without a Stadia Pro subscription. With Stadia, games will never require a download or updates, making it the most accessible platform ever.
