Google sent out a fairly cryptic invite to the game developers and associated press this week in the form of a GIF. It teases a keynote on March 19, 2019 and more information was made available shortly confirming this would be in the form of a keynote to be held at 10 am PST during GDC this year. The media giant promises to "reveal all", and also has developer-focused sessions throughout the course of the event. An early report from The Information suggests the keynote will have Google talk about their new game-streaming service, code-named Yeti.
 
This wasn't entirely unexpected in my opinion and gaming is a viable source of revenue.

    Google has a hard enough time running Youtube correctly along with actually finishing any of their projects so I don't see much good happening if they try to get into game streaming.

    My guess is it will still be limited to more simple games. I don’t see them streaming a 50gb game and having it be playable unless you have a gigabyte network. I also wonder what the FPS would be since lag would play an issue.

    Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.

    Didn't they recently abandon their Gigabit cheap internet for all program they were testing...?  ... which would have been nice/ needed for any streaming service to survive.
     
    Like alot of their projects -> announce -> test -> abandon -> pretend it never existed ->
