Try these games completely free on Google Stadia with no account or downloads

Did you know there are free game trials on Stadia that don’t require you to sign up? In fact, there are several genuinely fantastic titles that are free to play. Here are the games you can jump into right now without an account.

What is Google Stadia?

Stadia is one of a few cloud-based gaming services that have popped up in the last couple of years. Stadia allows you to play graphically intense games on just about any device out there without relying on local downloads. All you need is a stable internet connection.

In essence, you’re playing a game on a server far away that is equipped with sufficient hardware to let you stream visuals and enjoy your games without skipping a beat. This means you can play across devices — a Google Pixel, Android tablet, or even your Google TV.

Free trials on Stadia

If you just want to try Stadia out without even so much as signing up, you’re in luck. Stadia offers a few free game trials so you can test out your hardware and get a feel for it before considering a title purchase through Google’s service. As mentioned, you don’t even need to sign up for Pro or any subscription. Just jump in and start playing with your existing Google account. That’s all there is to it.

Do you like racing? Do you think to crash? Good, because Wreckfest delivers a solid racing experience with some ahead-of-its-time graphical processing to give you the best of both worlds.
