Google announce ‘Stadia’, their new cloud gaming service built on Linux and Vulkan
Google have now finally unveiled their new cloud gaming service named Stadia, offering instant access to play games in Google Chrome.

Stadia is Google’s New Gaming Service Powered by Linux & Open-Source Tech
Stadia, a brand new game streaming service from Google, has been revealed — and it’s powered by open source technology.
Long rumoured, but only formally announced at Games Developer Conference (GDC) 2019, the cloud gaming service promises to let gamers game from pretty much anywhere they want.
There’s no Stadia console; no box you buy and hook up to your TV. Instead, games run from a datacenter and are streamed to you via the internet. Games can be streamed at up to 4k at 60fps, depending on your connection, of course.
So folks, the dream of playing AAA games on Stadia on your crummy downstairs TV; your mid-range Android; or a potato laptop running Linux and Google Chrome, is now real.

Those who backed the (very successful) IndieGoGo campaign won’t receive their units until late 2019 at the earliest. The console had originally planned to ship to backers in the summer of 2019, and go on general sale soon after.
But although this delay is disappointing development for fans of this particular vintage gaming icon, there is an upside.
Yup, it turns there is a very good reason for the delay…
