Google Has A New YouTube-Focused Video Gaming Platform And Controller
Because Stadia games are hosted in the cloud, players don’t need a console or gaming computers to start playing. The service works over Wi-Fi, and can stream games in 4k at 60 frames per second with surround sound over a standard 25 mbps internet connection. Additionally, players don’t need to download games before playing them.
Google said that its new Wi-Fi-enabled controller, which connects to the cloud rather than the device you’re playing on, will ensure “the best possible gaming performance.” However, third-party controllers, mice, and keyboards will also work with Stadia games.The new hardware looks like a standard gaming controller, save for two buttons: one for saving and sharing gameplay at 4k resolution to YouTube, and another to activate Google Assistant.
The service will initially launch in the US, Canada, UK, and most of Europe later this year. Google said it will offer an update on the platform this summer.
