Google Stadia has promise — if it can resolve these 3 questions

At the Game Developers Conference 2019 this week, Google stole the show by announcing Stadia, its on-demand streaming service for video games. Set to launch later this year, Stadia promises to revolutionize gaming by streaming blockbuster games using any TV with Chromecast, computers running a Chrome browser, and any Android device — no console required.

While light on specific details, Google’s GDC presentation about Stadia was certainly impressive. Games like Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey will load within 5 seconds and run on any device, according to Google. Stadia’s high-end GPU pushes more than 10.7 teraflops — significantly more than Xbox One X and PS4 Pro.
