With the recent advancement in AI in the world of internet and user experience, Google is moving forward with a jam-packed year of news and upcoming trends.
Google’s Next-Gen Gaming - Stadia
For almost 20 years, Google thrived to put instant information in the hands of users. On March 19, 2019, Google announced its new gaming streaming service, Stadia, which will be available through the Chrome browser, Android devices and certain TVs. With Stadia, the players will be able to access the games from anywhere, at all times. And for the game developers, they are getting unlimited resources to create games. With around 200 million people watching game-related content on YouTube, Google’s new game streaming service will make many of those games playable by the click of a button.
The best part? It comes with a controller. Well, what good is a game streaming platform without a controller?
