More evidence that Google will announce a game console – Game Rant

For several weeks, Google launched a promotional announcement in which it was announced that Google would unveil its vision of "the future of the game" at the event. Although the video teaser is vague, it may be more revealing than some people initially realized.

Google has released the video teaser of its great video game ad in several places on the Web, one of which is its official website. The Gather Around promo is hosted on store.google.com and many have taken as proof that Google will announce its own games console.

Store.google.com is the platform used by Google to sell its hardware, such as Google Home, Pixel smartphones and tablets, Nest Thermostats and cameras, and accessories associated with these products. Therefore, if Google also hosts the video for its GDC 2019 presentation on the site, this suggests that the ad is related to hardware, such as a console. Some were asked if the announcement would be related to Project Stream, the streaming game service that it began testing last year. However, the teasers seem to confirm that the main event will be more important than that.

This is not the first time players have heard of Google's potential plans for building a game console. A report released last year also indicated that a Google console was in preparation and that she had started discussions with large companies in order to associate with them for the software. According to the report, the console would incorporate the Project Stream service.

The idea is also that Google is making big recruitments in the gaming sector. Yesterday, Jade Raymond, who previously worked on the Assassin's Creed franchise at Ubisoft and ran a studio at EA, announced that she had joined Google as vice president. This suggests that games will play a very important role in the future in society, extending the success already achieved by allowing users to download mobile games through Google Play.

Along with the rumor of a new console, Google should also provide more details about its gaming partnerships. There has also been speculation that Google has teamed up with Sega, but fans will have to wait until March 18 to see this affirmation confirmed or overturned.
