Earlier this week, Google announced that it would host a mysterious press conference on March 19th with the San Francisco Game Developers Conference. According to sources, Google will take this opportunity to launch a new game streaming service, and there is a high probability that there will be a game "host" hardware.




Google’s three-month Project Stream gaming experience ended last month, with users experiencing Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey on Mac, Windows , Linux and Chrome OS platforms. In addition to the browser and optional wired PS or Xbox controllers, what users need is a network connection with a network speed of 25Mb per second.
The following video is a real-time capture game screen (1080p 60fps) in Project Stream:
However, this three-month experience is only part of the Google Project Yeti project. At this time last year, there were reports that Google was still developing a Yeti hardware that would allow TV to participate.
While the original intent of the game streaming service was to change the device you played the game to a client like a Chromebook, most players equated their experience with large screens and dedicated handles. It has been previously reported that Yeti hardware is just something like a TV stick, but it has since been increasingly described as a "game console" and a handle designed by Google.
Then in June last year, there were reports that Google was actually developing the hardware, and it has already negotiated with a number of large game developers to try to attract it into the platform. There are also reports that many studios have partnered with Google to conduct internal testing of their games.
The Google launch will take place at 1 am on March 20th, Beijing time.
