Game streaming isnât new. Way back in 2008, OnLive was one of the first versions of the technology. And there was Shadow, which gives access to an entire gaming PC â and is still around. Despite being around for more than a decade, the technology still feels in its infancy. Even with the likes of Google, Sony and Microsoft now involved.
Thereâs been plenty of high and lows along the way â from OnLive and Shadow failing to take off to Nvidia GeForce Now getting a recent boost with support for the service coming to Google Chrome. Then thereâs Google Stadia, which just announced it will be closing its first-party game studios. Google launched Stadia with grandiose talk about the future of gaming. A few months later, the bombast has been replaced by pragmatism. From console killer to ânice to haveâ streaming solution for the console-less or those who like to jump from device to device.
