Google Unveils Project Stream: A New Era of Cloud Gaming
Google has announced Project Stream, a new video game streaming service that allows users to play high-quality games without downloading them. The service uses internet streaming technology to deliver games in real-time, with latency measured in milliseconds and no graphic degradation.
The announcement comes as Google continues to explore the gaming market, joining companies like Microsoft and Sony, which have also been working on similar technologies. Project Stream allows users to play games without needing expensive hardware, making it more accessible to those who can't afford high-end gaming computers.
According to Catherine Hsiao, project manager for Project Stream, 'streaming high-quality games requires latency measured in milliseconds, with no graphic degradation.' This is a significant challenge that has hindered the development of game streaming services in the past.
The service is currently in testing and will allow users to play popular titles like Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The quality of the stream is impressive, according to early tests.
