Google Stadia Vice President Phil Harrison told Variety that developers and publishers from around the world are already providing phenomenal support for the cloud platform. Moreover, some of them will be a big surprise for the public.
Harrison is very happy with the current situation with Google Stadia. He promises to reveal this summer the initial list of projects that users will have access to at the launch of the cloud gaming platform.
Interestingly, the entire Google Stadia project was initially led by the internal Chromecast team who wanted to see if it could use its streaming technology for gaming. “Stadia really started with the Chromecast team,” said Phil Harrison. “It has had tremendous success in streaming linear media content, especially TV and film. And then she decided: “Okay, we have a platform, what else can we do with it?” Do we have the ability to actually broadcast the game through this technology?″
An important element of the idea was the network structure that Google built into its data centers. “We don't talk about it publicly, but we have some very cutting-edge, perhaps the most cutting-edge, hardware innovations in the data center,” said a Google Stadia vice president.
It's no surprise that Chromecast will be the primary way to use Google Stadia with your TV. Alternative options to access the platform will include PCs, smartphones and tablets.
