Google is reportedly building a game-streaming subscription service

Google could be taking the plunge into subscription video games with a new project, codenamed Yeti. The subscription-based streaming service will potentially run on Chromecast or a new console that the company may be working on, according to an article on The Information.

The new project may very well have to do with the company’s recent high-profile hire of Phil Harrison, a game industry veteran who previously held an executive position at Microsoft and ran Sony PlayStation’s first-party studios and research and development teams. Harrison has a lot of experience with consoles, which will be a big asset to Google if it is in fact developing its own system.
