Google has unveiled its cloud gaming service Stadia at the ongoing Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco. CEO Sundar Pichai introduced Stadia at a special keynote, at Google’s maiden appearance at GDC.
Google Stadia will let you play high-end games without the need to purchase expensive gaming consoles or make high end gaming PCs. According to Google, Stadia will be a gaming platform for everyone. All of the rendering of the games will be done in Google Cloud using specialised AMD graphics.

Demoing how Stadia would work, Google said that if you are watching the video of a game play on YouTube, you could hit a button that says ‘Play Now’ to get right into the game in under 5 seconds. This will be a new feature on YouTube which will let game creators create game clips which will have a ‘Play Now’ button to instantly stream the titles. You do not need to download or install any game titles.
Google claims that Stadia can run on any type of screen — mobile phone, tablet, laptop, TV. It will work on Chrome OS on Chromebooks as well. For TVs, you will need Chromecast Ultra. It does not involve purchasing any extra console, but all the gaming will happen via cloud streaming.
