Google declares war on the games console: 'Project Stream' will let users play in their browser

Google has unveiled a radical new streaming service it hopes will one day replace games consoles. Called Project Stream, it will let users stream games in real time to Google's Chrome browser. The firm is partnering with Ubisoft to test the service with their soon-to-be released Assassin's Creed Odyssey, with the game running on Google's servers, but being streamed live and controlled by users over a web connection. Google is developing a subscription-based game streaming service that could work either on its Chromecast or a Google-made console. The plan that Google has been working on involves use of its cloud servers to broadcast the games to users over the internet.
