Google to break into gaming market with 'Yeti' streaming service
The service is likely to be compatible with its Chromecast or a Google-made console
Google is reported to be developing a subscription-based game streaming service.
The service is likely to be compatible with its Chromecast or a Google-made console.
Alphabet Inc. announced on Wednesday its plan of developing a new service codenamed 'Yeti'.
'Yeti' would put Google at the forefront of the video game market that enables the users to play while the games are being streamed. The new service aims at rendering the need for downloading games or using the disks versions unnecessary.
The service will make use of Google's cloud servers to broadcast the games to users over the internet.
According to reports, Google has already discussed 'Yeti' with game developers. It is not clear if the developers will create a game especially for 'Yeti'or make existing streamed games available.
