Google may have fluffed its lines with the Stadia launch but that doesn\u2019t mean the push for game streaming is going to stop anytime soon. None of the big boys want to be the Blockbuster to somebody else\u2019s Netflix so you can bet they\u2019ll all keep trying until one strikes gold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Next up to join Google Stadia, Xbox Game Streaming (Project xCloud) and PlayStation now would appear to be\u2026. Amazon. That\u2019s according to CNET, who claim they\u2019ve got two inside sources which have confirmed Amazon\u2019s plans to get into game streaming.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The plans sound suspiciously like Google\u2019s own Stadia initiative. It\u2019ll be led by the Amazon Web Services team and will offer game streaming which will be fully integrated into Twitch. Stadia will, eventually, maybe, be fully integrated into YouTube, insofar as users will be able to click and launch a game directly from a stream. Amazon\u2019s Twitch integration sounds as if it\u2019ll be much the same, although it may try the novel approach of actually having it ready for launch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
CNET claims Amazon\u2019s game streaming will be ready to launch in 2020, the same year Xbox Game Streaming is due to launch and also when Stadia leaves Early Access.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/ins><\/p>\n Amazon certainly hasn\u2019t found any success with its game initiatives thus far. A number of studios were set up, games announced and cancelled, but the only notable release it\u2019s achieved so far was the truly awful The Grand Tour Game. Amazon meets Clarkson truly is the Pandora\u2019s Box of the modern era.<\/p>\n First-party titles probably aren\u2019t going to be the \u2018system sellers\u2019 Amazon craves then, but this hardly matters. Thanks to AWS (Amazon Web Services), Amazon is the biggest cloud service provider on the planet. No other company has stronger cloud infrastructure. Factor in the ubiquitous Amazon Prime subscription and, well, it\u2019s easy to see the avenue down which Amazon could make cloud gaming a success.<\/p>\n As it currently stands though, there are a lot of huge companies trying to take bites out of what is still a very small pie. Cloud gaming, if it actually worked perfect, could be revelatory. Anything less than the native experience is going to bet with kickback though, so it remains to be seen which of the tech giants can master both streaming technology and content provision.<\/p>\n Source<\/p>\n Our Favorite Comments<\/p>\n 5 <\/p>\n “Pls no more of this cloud gaming BS, hope people dont buy this crap so it can die quickly in less than a year just like steam machines did.”<\/p>\n Manumunguia – <\/p>\n 4 <\/p>\n “Digital ownership ceases in 2020.Bit too edgy?
