Stadia has had a rough go at entering the video game market, and things are only looking worse as the new Chromecast with Google TV will not support the cloud gaming service until sometime in the first half of 2021. The delay in integrating Stadia into Google’s new infrastructure is most likely due to the different layers and services that exist in Chrom🔯ecast now and in the future.
As writes, until now Sta𝔉dia on Chromecast has not had its own interf♛ace and instead relies on streaming video from the web as directed by your phone. The new Chromecast, meanwhile, adds complexity through additional layers, beginning with Android TV acting as the main operating system, as well as the new Google TV interface, and Cast to stream videos to other Android TV devices.
Stadia has an Android app for smartphones, but this does not automatically translate to the Android TV ecosystem. In all likeli🦩hood, the delay in formally supporting Stadia on the newest Chromecast is not intentional, but an unexpected problem due to those new layers that requires additional effort to implement w꧑ithout sacrificing quality of gameplay.
Still, the news is exactly the opposite you would expect to read, given the already poor reception Stadia has received since first launching almost a year ago in November 2019. From the beginning, the hardware has been overpriced, the controller is lacking compared to console gaming, and consumers are asked to spend quite a bit of money with buying games at full price th♌ey may already own els🍬ewhere.
The delay is even worse for the future of Stadia when taking 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Microsoft’s Project xCloud into consideration. For a monthly fee that is comparable to the Stadia Pro subscription, you can instead 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:access hundreds of games through the Xbox Game Pass, and playing on virtually any smart device (168澳洲幸运5开奖网:except iOS, for now) is a snap.
Even if Google moves quickly to get Stadia formal support on the newest Chromecast at ⛦some point in 2021, consumers would be hard pressed to co⛎nsider it a viable alternative to traditional console gaming, PC gaming, and Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass.
However, Google has been known to throw ridiculous amounts of money at projects to see if something will stick, and so we may see Stadia chug along for years to come, gasping for breath, until it is finally put﷽ out of its misery.
