[Martin-O2]

Hi everyone,

Big news in the world of gaming recently with the official announcement of Google's game streaming service called Stadia!

Stadia is Google’s cloud gaming service and promises to deliver 4K 60fps gaming directly to your Chrome browser! Billed as the ‘Netflix for gaming’ Stadia is hoping to compete with the current generation of console gaming platforms.

All that’s required is a fast Internet connection (5Mbps) to connect to the streaming service and you’re good to go. Whilst the information on supported games is limited the title on show at the demo was Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Doom Eternal has also been confirmed.

The release date and price are still TBC however the service will be landing at some point during 2019.

You can get more details about Stadia in this article. What are your thoughts on the new streaming service? Do you think it will do well and would you be interested in seeing something similar for mobile gaming?

Charcoal is great 

Trying now to turn it a little @Marjo 

I like the short games on O2 Playing now the Cities of the World.

Those are awesome to prepare too @TallTrees , so much fun!

I also play word games on PC (less nowadays though) and mobile (quite often). On mobile there's also similar games to word search that you can play with friends, just on mobile remotely instead of pen and paper.

Hi @Marjo 

Yes I expect those are very difficult to put together ~ I am still playing after a short break.

I used to do crosswords but found that after a day at work that was the least form of relaxation!

So feet up and watch rubbish TV didn't have to think then.
