Google’s ‘Yeti’ Gaming Console to Be Announced at GDC 2019 in March: Report
HIGHLIGHTS
Google's gaming machine is said to be streaming only
It may use Project Stream tech for AAA game streaming
It may come with a game controller and include in-game chat
On Tuesday, Google announced a mysterious keynote at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco on March 19th. The event comes as the Project Stream beta of a AAA console title ended in January, and amid the year-long rumors of Project Yeti. We can now confirm that Google plans to announce gaming hardware next month.
Besides claiming to confirm the hardware launch, the report by 9to5Google says that the hardware that Google had planned for Yeti was reportedly similar to a Chromecast dongle. Now, it seems that the design has evolved to a gaming console with a gaming controller.
If you remember, Project Stream was in consumer testing phase with the full version of Assassin's Creed Odyssey playable on any computer (PC, Mac, or Linux) with a Google Chrome browser or Chrome OS. The only major requirement was a 25Mbps Internet connection.
The service was only limited to the US during the testing period, but the vision was to provide a AAA gaming experience without the need of high-end hardware. The consumer testing phase of Project Stream came to an end in January this year, but not without giving the players a much-appreciated gift.
We had earlier reported that several gaming outlets had received invites to Google's keynote but it was just speculation at that point. It's also reported that there are already some studios that have worked with Google to port their existing games testing and it may include in-game chat.
