Google Stadia Pro has revealed which games will be free to download and play for the month of July.

As the cloud gaming service developed and operated by Google, Google Stadia offers up to 4K HDR video streaming and 5.1 sound. For a $9.99 monthly fee, people get to subscribe to Google Stadia Pro, which means access to free games each month.

Since Google Stadia Pro was launched, its members have received “Destiny 2,” “Grid,” “Zombie Army 4,” “Serious Sam,” and several others. At present, Google Stadia Pro itself is available for free for one month for new members.

Pocket-lint reports that the free games offered for the month of July on Google Stadia Pro are “Crayta,” “SteamWorld Dig,” “West of Loathing,” and “Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom.”

As a Stadia exclusive, “Crayta” allows players to build their own multiplayer experiences for others to play. Your worlds can be as complex or simple as possible and, if you don't feel like making something yourself, there are plenty of user-creations to have fun in. This powerful game creation game is built on Unreal Engine 4.

In “SteamWorld Dig,” players get a single-player platform action-adventure game created by Swedish video game developer Image & Form. Players control Rusty, a steam-powered robot who arrives at a small Western mining town called Tumbleton after having received a deed for a mine from his long-forgotten uncle, Joe.

“West of Loathing” is a comedy adventure RPG developed by Asymmetric Publications in a weird Western frontier setting. The player character leaves the family farm and heads west to seek their fortune on a trek to the city of Frisco.

“Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom” is a platformer/action-adventure that is a follow-up to Sega's Wonder Boy series of games. You get to battle enemies and solve puzzles, all the while changing into different animal forms, each with different abilities.

The Stadia app can be downloaded for both Android and iOS. Users of Google Chrome, on the other hand, can access Stadia by just visiting the webpage from their browser and play Google Stadia games from there.

The games mentioned will remain in your library to play as often as you like as long as you continue to subscribe to Stadia Pro. Pocket-lint notes that although games are often taken off the Stadia Pro list, so they can no longer be redeemed afterward, they remain in your library to play.
