Google says it plans to launch a video-game streaming

platform called Stadia, positioning itself to take on the traditional

video-game business, AP reported.

The platform lets gamers playing Stadia jump across devices

operating on Google’s Chrome browser and Chrome OS, such as Pixel phones and

Chromebooks.

Alphabet Inc.’s Google says playing video games will be as

simple as pressing a “Play Now” button, without anything to download. There is

a dedicated Stadia controller that is optional.

No launch date or pricing was announced but the company says

Stadia will be available in 2019 in the US, Canada, the UK and parts of Europe.

Video game streaming typically requires a strong connection

and more computing power than simply streaming video. Google says it is leveraging

its data centers to power the system.
