Google pulls out of cloud gaming
-
GOOGLE’S CLOUD game system Stadia was launched in 2019, promising top-tier 4K games on minimal hardware. The idea was sound but the implementation wasn’t as solid as hoped. While Stadia was excellent from a technical perspective, with 4K resolution, surround sound, and smooth gameplay, Google didn’t support it with original content and closed the doors of its in-house developers last year, losing a great deal of talent in the process. The writing has been on the wall for Stadia ever since.
