The North American Portal Kotaku published a very interesting report where, according to sources close to Google the company Mountain View would work on its own platform of video games .

They do not have specific details about the plans that Google would have with this new platform. However, they point out that could involve a streaming service ( Cloud Gaming ), a kind of hardware and intention to attract video game developers either to recruiting them, either by making major acquisitions of specialized studies in the sector.

The material would connect to the streaming service so that players could enjoy games on demand . We do not know if the "console" would have technical capabilities similar to those of the PlayStation 4 or the Xbox One, because by consuming games in streaming, the external servers can handle the processing . This allows the player to receive only the video signal so he would not need any hardware with great features.

This has already been seen on platforms such as OnLive and Gaikai ] which was eventually acquired by Sony to create PlayStation Now a service that has been available since 2014. Without much of success until now.

Google has a world-class connectivity infrastructure would help solve one of the main negatives of Cloud Gaming response time . Currently, none of the video game streaming services has been able to resolve the delay that exists between the video signal and the actions performed by the player on command .

It would not be the first time that Google tries to enter the video game industry, however, has never been a success . In 2014, he was about to acquire Twitch, but Amazon was ahead on the last moment. For a time, he speculated on his intention to create an Android-based console, very similar to what Ouya had been missing. Finally, none of this has happened. Will we soon see the Mountain View take the final step?
