With E3 only days away, it’s important for us to take a look at some of the companies that moved away from the whole show, either to host their own or to just not participate in the announcement hype entirely.
Google, for instance, is in quite the position as of now. For the first time since the company’s inception, the tech giant now moves to make a mark in a completely new industry: gaming. Their claim to fame for this whole industry rests upon the Google Stadia, a streaming service for games, much like what Netflix is to TV shows and movies.
Since its announcement last March, a lot of burning questions have popped up for the Stadia, with one the biggest ones being the query of how Google can possibly pull this one off. Well, now we may finally have most of our questions answered, if not all of them, as Google has announced the first Stadia Connect presentation which is set to air later today, merely a few days before gaming’s biggest event of the year: E3.
Check out our details on the upcoming Stadia Connect below, and see if any of your questions are answered by this mysterious presentation.
