On Tuesday, Google announced Stadia, an ambitious plan to launch a new type of video game platform that doesn't rely on people buying game consoles.
Google just announced a huge new gaming initiative: A Netflix-like video game streaming platform named Stadia.
After years of rumors and speculation, Google officially detailed its plans to enter the video game business on Tuesday. Instead, processing is handled"in the cloud" — by Google's hardware in a data center — which is then streamed to you instantly. Your inputs are then instantly beamed back to the computer elsewhere.
Instead, Google is offering a service-based video game platform that goes where you are — like the music industry, the film industry, and the TV industry have already done.It comes in at least three color configurations.In many ways, the Stadia controller looks an awful lot like a hybrid of Xbox One gamepad and the PlayStation 4 gamepad .
There are two other buttons on the Stadia controller that stand out: The capture button, which captures gameplay directly to YouTube, and the Google Assistant button, which activates Google Assistant.
"Doom" publisher Bethesda Softworks is clearly signaling at least some level of support for Stadia, and it's clear that"Assassin's Creed Odyssey" publisher Ubisoft is on board. Two other notable publishers had games in the keynote:"Final Fantasy" and"Tomb Raider" publisher Square Enix, and"NBA 2K" publisher Take-Two Interactive.
