Google announces Stadia — a browser-based gaming service

For 20 years, Google has worked to put the world’s information at your fingertips. Instant delivery of that information is made possible through our data center and network capabilities, and now we’re using that technology to change how you access and enjoy video games.

Stadia is a new video game platform, delivering instant access to your favourite games on any type of screen—whether it’s a TV, laptop, desktop, tablet or mobile phone. The goal is to make those games available in resolutions up to 4K and 60 frames per second with HDR and surround sound. It be launching later this year in select countries including the US, Canada, UK and much of Europe.
