With Stadia, Google aims to take on Nvidia’s GeForce NOW and Valve’s Steam Link game streaming services by offering users select and original titles developed in-house, as well as instant access to your games library, which you’ll be able to stream virtually anywhere in up to 4K HDR resolutions at 60 frames per second. Stadia promises to be an advanced game streaming powered by Google’s globally connected network of data centers that combine server class CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage to deliver 24/7 gaming to players around the world and unlimited resources to game developers who want to create original and gorgeous games.
