Touch controls on 'Humankind'
Amplitude Studios' strategy game, Humankind, will be bringing a new touch-focused control scheme to Google Stadia. "Direct touch" is designed around multitouch finger inputs, similar to what you get with traditional mobile games. It's a feature currently unavailable on Stadia on your smartphone as it requires a Bluetooth controller or gamepad overlay.
Humankind will also feature Stadia's State Share feature, which gives your friend a chance to pick up where you left off in a game just by sharing a screenshot or video clip with them. With this title, you can use a feature called "Leave Your Mark," where you allow your friend to play through your same world, find the ruins of your civilization, and compare achievements as they play.
