In November 2019, Google launched Stadia, a cloud gaming service. After being life for 3 years, Google announced on a BlogSpot about shutting down the stadia services in January 2023.
Now Google has come up with another platform for cloud gaming in the form of Chromebook. For the manufacturing of Chromebooks, Google has collaborated with various manufacturers like Lenovo, Asus, and Acer.
Google has also contacted Corsair, HyperX, and SteelSeries to make “Works with Chromebook” certified fringe for these devices. Google has also partnered with cloud gaming services like Nvidia GeForce Now, Microsoft Xbox Cloud Gaming, and Amazon Luna to bring some amazing blockbusters games to the market.
