　　Now Playing: PixelJunk Raiders - Official Announcement Trailer

　　PixelJunk Raiders will be free for Stadia Pro subscribers, or it can be purchased for $20 on the Stadia Store. Stadia's latest exclusive comes just weeks after Google announced that it was no longer developing games and would soon close down its Los Angeles and Montreal studios. Stadia and Stadia Pro platforms will remain operational, as Google instead focuses on locking down third-party studios for exclusive deals.

　　"You can continue playing all your games on Stadia and Stadia Pro, and we'll continue to bring new titles from third parties to the platform," Google said at the time. "We're committed to the future of cloud gaming, and will continue to do our part to drive this industry forward. Our goal remains focused on creating the best possible platform for gamers and technology for our partners, bringing these experiences to life for people everywhere."
