Google teases likely gaming hardware announcement at GDC 2019

A teaser ad for what is likely the announcement of Google Gaming Hardware at GDC 2019.

It’s possible Google could launch the commercial version of Project Stream, its cloud-based game streaming service which enables gamers to play AAA titles using nothing but an internet browser. However, there’s credible evidence to suggest that what Google will launch will sell online at the Google Store, which suggests that the launch will involve hardware. Since Project Stream is really software only, it’s unlikely the keynote will be just about Project Stream.

Instead, it’s possible Google will launch some sort of gaming console or gaming peripheral to pair with Project Stream or possibly even something else entirely.

Whatever Google has in store for us today, it’s likely to turn some heads — Google officially stepping into the billion-dollar gaming industry is sure to make some waves.
