For a few weeks now, Google and its cloud gaming platform, Stadia, have been offering an alternative to the containment blues.
The Google Stadia Pro plan is currently free for two months after registration (instead of $9.99 per month).
You will still have to provide your bank details, but you can simply deactivate the direct debit so that no payment will be taken at the end of these two months.
Of course, once this period ends the free games you can see below will no longer be available, and you will need to re-subscribe to take advantage of them once again.

It's also important to note that, by default, Google limits the frame rate of games to 60fps and the resolution to 1080p. This is to reduce the bandwidth used during the containment period as many services are doing, but is one that you can remedy in your own settings.
Current Free Titles
- Destiny 2: The Collection
- GRID
- Gylt
- SteamWorld Dig 2
- SteamWorld Quest
- Serious Sam Collection
- Spitlings
- Stacks on Stacks (on Stacks)
Of course, these seven games are not the only titles available on Stadia. Several top games (some of which you can find below) are playable through the cloud, but you will need to purchase the games first.

Some other titles available in the catalog:
- Assassin's Creed Odyssey
- Darksiders Genesis
- The Elder Scroll Online
- Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition
- And many more to follow in the coming months, such as Baldur's Gate 3 and Cyberpunk 2077
Following the Reddit Q&A session of the Hearthstone development team organized a Q&A session on Reddit, we learned that Blizzard is already planning several balance updates.
