This is an interestingly timely comment, as GRID released on Stadia today sporting an exclusive 40-person race mode (up from the standard 16-person multiplayer on other platforms) that the developer says "just isn’t possible with other hardware".
I think they're just scratching the surface of what's possible, and I'm excited to see how other games take advantage of the new form factor Stadia offers as time goes on.
Every console has its pros and cons, and something "new" that a new console/platform can provide can definitely be appealing to some developers looking to differentiate themselves or their games from what we've come to expect as normal (or even possible, in many cases).
