Yesterday, Google has announced 'Stadia' at GDC 2019.
What is Stadia?
Stadia is Google's vision for the future of gaming. In simple terms, you can use your browser to play games online.
But, Hey! What's new in this? I used to do that. I have played pinball, mario and even when my internet is not working I play dino on chrome.
Yeah man! But this thing is different, it's revolutionary and insane (when it is on its fullest).
You don't need any special hardware to play graphic heavy games like Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Fifa, Uncharted, Battlefield, etc. You name it and you can play it. You only need an internet connection. You can play it on your rusty desktop, granny's laptop, bedroom Television and on your phone. Remember; only browser and an internet connection.
That's great! Tell me how can play this?
Let me tell you some key things first before start gaming.
This is an online service for which you have to pay. Google has not yet clear the rents neither the dates. Google has announced the regions where this service will be available later this year, which are US, Canada, most of Europe. Since gaming is not Google's forte, so you will be getting very less games when compared with others(will talk about this later in this article).
Google has also started a beta program where they were testing this product with Assassin's Creed Odyssey. You can play these games on Stadia directly from Youtube on their trailer by clicking the button 'Play now' or directly from the link which logs you into you session of that game.
Google will going to face competition from Apple, Microsoft and from Sony. Microsoft and Sony are the old players and has a great catalog of games. What I feel is that console are still here for at least 2 years but this is the future of gaming.
