Google Launches New Stadia Game Streaming Service
Google is officially getting into the gaming industry today.
The company just took the wraps off Stadia, it’s game streaming service. Codenamed Yeti, Google has been rumoured to be working on the service for a while now. The naming is inspired by stadiums, and how people started coming around for sports back in the good old days. Google is pitching this as “one place” for anyone to play anything, anyone, anywhere.
Stadia brings together YouTube streamers and watchers together, according to Google. So if you are watching a game’s trailer on YouTube, you will be able to start playing that exact game instantly right from YouTube instantly. You won’t need to download or install anything, and instantly start playing whatever game you want. As long as the game is on Stadia, of course.
Satdia will allow users to stream games from their devices, and it will be a cross-platform service that’s available on PC, Macs, phones, tablets, TVs, and more. Google is not launching a gaming console. It is, however, launching its own Stadia controller that you can see below.
