Football Manager 2020 coming in November, and to Google Stadia too

Dota 2

Every day, millions of players worldwide enter battle as one of over a hundred Dota heroes. And no matter if it's their 10th hour of play or 1,000th, there's always something new to discover. With regular updates that ensure a constant evolution of gameplay, features, and heroes, Dota 2 has taken on a life of its own.

Sports Interactive today announced their next annual Football Manager sequel, though they don’t have much to say about it. What they do say is that as well as Windows and Mac, this year’s kickabout management sim will launch on Stadia, Google’s cloud gaming platform. SI make the unusual claim that all those processors Google have hanging from balloons in their clouds will actually make FM2020 quicker on Stadia than other platforms. Huh.
