Google Launches Game Streaming Platform Called Stadia

Google has unveiled a video-game streaming platform called Stadia, positioning itself to take on the traditional video-game business.

Google made the announcement at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.

The platform will store a game-playing session in the cloud and lets players jump across devices operating on Google’s Chrome browser and Chrome OS, such as Pixel phones and Chromebooks.

Alphabet Inc.’s Google said playing video games will be as simple as pressing a “Play Now” button, with nothing to download or install. An optional dedicated Stadia controller will be available. The WiFi-enabled controller has a button that lets players launch a microphone and use Google Assistant to ask questions about the games being played. Another button lets users share gameplay directly to Google’s video streaming service, YouTube
