- Google Stadia head Jade Raymond announced recently that the company is setting up a gaming studio in Montréal, Quebec
Google VP and head of Stadia Games & Entertainment Jade Raymond recently announced that the company is opening a gaming studio in Montréal, Quebec. The Stadia Games and Entertainment’s studio is going to produce exclusive and original content across a diverse gaming portfolio.
“As a child, I spent countless hours playing video games with my sisters. They transported us to exciting new worlds and took us on captivating adventures. They even taught us valuable life skills—three kids and only two controllers meant we had to learn problem solving and cooperation pretty quickly!” wrote Raymond in a blog post. “I was also fortunate to live in Montréal, a city with an amazing gaming legacy, having launched dozens of studios, thousands of careers, and countless incredible games.”
And Raymond also pointed that Stadia is going to foster a diverse and inclusive workplace. The diverse workplace will enable Stadia to bring different perspectives in shaping the games it builds.
“I’ve been making games for a while now, and wouldn’t trade the experiences I’ve had for anything. But we can do better. We can do more. At Stadia, we don’t believe in being ‘good enough,’” Raymond added. “We believe in being more: More ambitious. More inclusive. More accessible. More immersive. More engaging. We’re bringing that mentality to Stadia Games and Entertainment, and now with our first studio, we’re looking for the best developers on the planet to join us.”
Google will be launching Stadia on November 19.
