Google schedules GDC event, reportedly for cloud gaming service

Google has scheduled an event for 10 a.m. Pacific time March 19 at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. That is reportedly where it will unveil more details of Project Stream.

Code-named Yeti, the project will reportedly enable gamers to stream high-quality games to any device, fulfilling the promise of cloud gaming services that made this promise more than a decade ago. The group is headed by former PlayStation and Microsoft game executive Phil Harrison, who joined Google as a vice president in January 2018.
