Earlier this year. Google had announced that they’re expected to reveal a gaming news on March 19th this year and the Game Developer’s Convention; many have speculated the arrival of a new gaming console designed by Google running on its own software. Google had posted a few teaser videos of what to come and the date is closer than ever. For that’s to come, Google stated that they’re going to “unveil Google’s vision for the future of gaming”. Critics say that this Google is at a great disadvantage considering that there exists numerous gaming systems or consoles that are popular such as the Microsoft Xbox or the Sony PlayStation. Google’s significance in the gaming world is that they’re said to be using cloud gaming which will be discussed in the next paragraph and why it is crucial toward the “future of gaming”. After Google’s announcement on the 19th, there are several other high-profiled gaming companies lined up to talk including Ubisoft and id Software.
The image above is predicted to be the logo of Google’s gaming system. The significance of Ubisoft is that their newly released game, Assassins’s Creed: Odyssey, was one of the first ever to run of Google’s cloud. Instead of needing a powerful computer or console with a strong graphics card in order to perform well in one’s game play, players can now solely rely on the cloud-gaming servers. This streaming technology might be able to help Google enter the gaming market. Variety had written that they’ve seen snippets of the new gaming device on Google Chromecast which is used as a server to stream movies and games to consumers. If Google successfully pull this event off, this might just be one of the biggest story of the year.
