Google Project Stream: Can you think of "serious" games in a web browser? Not random flash games but the latest big games that are released, like Assassin's Creed Odyssey through Chrome?
Google is getting ready to make it a reality. Today the company announced Project Stream, its own 3D game streaming platform like GeForce Now. Google says the project is a “technical experiment to solve some of the biggest challenges in streaming.”.
The company is pioneering and starting October 5, "a limited number of participants" will be able to play Assassin's Creed Odyssey for free on the platform.
Although there's only one game, it's still an unusual move from Google. We've long heard rumors that Google is preparing a cloud gaming service codenamed "Yeti," but today we get the first concrete hint.
Of course, many hardcore gamers may not be satisfied with streaming games, but it could prove to be a valuable alternative for gamers who aren't so lucky with the fidelity and latency of their computers.
Needless to say, you'll need fast internet for the new service to work. Google recommends 25 megabits per second. Those interested can sign up to try Project Stream out here.
