Google's Sundar Pichai is live to uncover the company's game streaming service!! #GDC2019 #Google

Google's next aim is to build a gaming platform for everyone, says Pichai #GoogleGDC19

Google names its gaming service 'Stadia' and that's what the leaked logo was for! #GoogleGDC19

The vision for Stadia is simple. A universal place for gamers, developers, and viewers - says Phil Harrison #GoogleGDC19

Stadia will give you 'Instant Access' to games directly from its YouTube trailer. You simply need to click on a link and get playing right the game in your browser within 5 seconds. No download or install required! #GoogleGDC19

You won't be limited to a console or PC with #Stadia, says Phil Harrison. You can use a console, PC, tablet, smartphone or any device you image. The data center is your playground now!

Google doesn't want any barriers to entry for #Stadia, so you can use any of your existing devices or controllers, but Google has a surprise up its sleeve! #GoogleGDC2019

Meet the Stadia Controller!! It's the controller for the best Stadia experience, says Google #GoogleGDC19 #Beebom

At launch, Stadia will support 4K HDR streaming with 60fps and surround sound. The future holds 8K support and 120+ fps, says Google. #GoogleGDC19 #Beebom

Google has built a custom GPU in partnership with AMD and you can check out its specs down below. "The data center is your platform," according to Google & developers will no longer need to scale down their imagination #GoogleGDC19

Developers can make games compatible with Stadia in multiple ways - Google's cloud, your own cloud, and at your desk. #GoogleGDC19

id is bringing 'Doom Eternal' to Google's streaming service Stadia, running at 4K 60fps. Awesomeeee #GoogleGDC19

Well, it seems no gaming-related announcement is now complete without a mention of Battle Royale. Google says Stadia will help scale today's 100-odd player BR games to thousands.

The POWER of data centers lol. Google sure has a ton of them. #GoogleGDC19

Google says #Stadia will support true 'Cross-platform play' from the get-go! Take that, Sony? #GoogleGDC19

Google wants to make it easy for devs to make split-screen co-op titles without sacrificing performance. It's making a 'Stream Connect' tool available for it.

It also introduced an AI tech called 'Style Transfer ML' to realize different scenes simply by feeding it to the system

Add to the mix #Stadia's "State Share" tool for sharing your in-game moments (replayable) with the world. Great for devs, as well as streamers #GoogleGDC19

Stadia and YouTube: "The most connected gamer experience ever," says Ryan Wyatt from YouTube Gaming

Stadia will include a 'Crowd Play' feature for YouTube Gaming creators, which will allow anyone to join you in-game live. Google takes cues from Microsoft's Mixer, sort of. #GoogleGDC19

All that's left to see is whether all this will be realized in the coming years or not!!

Stadia will come with Google Assistant integration. You will just need to press a button and it will serve you with a link to help you clear that level (from YouTube or other sources) right inside that gameplay

#GoogleGDC19

Google announces own first-party game studio 'Stadia Games and Entertainment' to build experiences designed exclusively for its streaming service!! It will be led by Ubisoft Toronto's founder Jade Raymond (@ibjade)

#GoogleGDC19 #Stadia

Developers you can head to Stadia.dev to sign up for the platform. Players can visit Stadia.com to check out details of Google's game streaming service!

#GoogleGDC2019

Google says #Stadia will officially go live later in 2019, starting with the US, UK, Canada, and Europe. More details to come later this summer. #GoogleGDC19

Would have loved to hear about game titles supported right now, but we gotta wait. Maybe at Google I/O.

It would also be interesting to see how #Stadia is priced. What would be your guess?

#GoogleGDC19 #Beebom

Ah, I really hate these typos. But I needed to be speedy with the announcements, so meh. You get the gist.
