Google allowed games to have free trials beginning last week with 30-minute timed trials of multiplayer construction game Hello Engineer and single-player action game Control Ultimate Edition.

Google also revealed that an Explore Feed will be rolling out to all Stadia users on the "web endpoints" of the platform after it initally launched on mobile last August. The feed allows players to share and view captures or access Share States from games that support it like Doom Eternal, one of the best Stadia games that recently added the Stadia exclusive feature.

Finally, Stadia Pro members can play Ghost Recon Breakpoint at no additional charge this weekend only as part of the Free Play Days promotion. The free weekend starts on Thursday, Nov. 4 and ends on Sunday, Nov. 7. The game received a free update called Operation Motherland earlier this week and adds a new single-player campaign.
