Stadia tests the UI of a redesigned web application for the 'Library' tab

For the past few weeks, Google has been creating an update after update for Stadia, and now, it looks like the company is preparing for a UI update. Some users are looking for a new web UI for Stadia, which includes welcome improvements.

Finally, there is the “New Releases” section. The first and last of these new boxes are shortcuts to parts of the Stadia store.

At the bottom of the homepage, we found that there is a “Pro Games to Claim” section, which allows users to quickly make any new additions to the Stadia Pro lineup with a single click. In our case, of course, the interface to start the game was also slightly adjusted from what we saw in the video above.
