Developer Stephen Danton explains why the prospect of bringing Unto The End to Stadia appealed to him: "Two things. Reach and immersion. Sara and I make games that break conventions and challenge expectations. Stadia’s great for us because it lets lots of players give Unto The End a try and see if it’s for them. It’s a friction-free, click-a-button, start-playing experience. Likewise, Unto has no loading screen, no main menu, you start the game, it loads and you’re playing. Just like Stadia."
Unto The End will launch on Stadia this winter, alongside its release on PC and consoles, including as a day one Game Pass title on Xbox One.
