In 2018, Google announced Project Stream, a limited streaming test built around Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. After a short test period in January 2019, the project ended and Google kept pretty quiet about its future game streaming plans. At GDC 2019, Google finally broke the silence with the announcement of Stadia.

You can simply open Youtube and can click on play button to play any AAA titiles on the go. You do not require any hefty price console or a PC to play these games . You can play these anytime anywhere .

Google servers handle the actual rendering of the game and then it streams the gameplay to your device. In other words, you can play any Stadia title on any system you like because your system isn’t actually running the game: Google is. This opens up high-quality gaming to anyone, including people who can’t afford an expensive gaming PC or aren’t interested in buying the latest console.

Someday, Google has promised or suggested:

• You’ll be able to click on a YouTube ad for a game to jump straight into that game.
• You’ll be able to live-stream to YouTube in 4K at the same time you’re playing in 4K.
• You’ll be able to share a link to an exact moment in a game with friends or followers so they can try it instantly.
• Streamers will be able to let viewers line up to instantly join their game
• You’ll be able to see your friend’s actual screens in some games to help you coordinate.
• The controller’s dedicated Google Assistant button will be able to help you beat games.
• Future games will combine the power of multiple Stadia servers to do things impossible on console or PC, like a single shared world for every single player, advanced physics, fully destructible worlds, huge numbers of NPCs, etc.
• Google will release its own games for Stadia with some of these features.
• Other Android phones and perhaps iPhones will get in on the action.

• Cross-platform multiplayer may happen.

• Stadia will scale to “8K” resolution and 120 frames per second.

Challenges for Google Stadia

The real issue is that we’re all using different equipment and services. You might have DSL with a modem and a Wi-Fi router. Someone else may use their ISP-provided gateway with cable. You might only have a 2.4GHz option on your router, or maybe you have 2.4/5GHz. Stadia will work better on 5GHz, but that signal has a shorter range as well.

Then you have to worry about the quality of the cabling in your apartment building or throughout your neighborhood. Every time a Stadia signal jumps to a new point of connection after a Google node, it’s going to introduce more and more latency. And Google has no good way of solving that — especially since it abandoned plans to expand its Google Fiber project to deliver high-speed internet to people’s homes.
