Google announces Stadia video game streaming service

Live Mint  

Alphabet Inc's Google announced on Tuesday a video game streaming service dubbed Stadia that attempts to capitalize on the company's cloud technology and global network of data centers. "Stadia offers instant access to play," Phil Harrison, a Google vice president overseeing the new service, said during a keynote presentation on Tuesday in San Francisco at the Game Developers Conference, which is bringing together this week about 25,000 people who work in the video games industry. But Apple Inc's App Store sold about $33 billion worth of games last year, and the games industry views Amazon.com Inc's Twitch, rather than YouTube, as the most popular video streaming service for content related to video games. Google had launched a test of Project Stream last October, inviting users to play Ubisoft Entertainment SA's new game Assassin’s Creed Odyssey from their web browsers for free.
