Google’s Project Stream wants to stream Assassin’s Creed in your browser

Google is looking to do just that with a new service it's calling Project Stream, which was officially announced today.

On Monday, October 1, Google formally announced Project Stream - a new technology from the company that is created to stream AAA video games to your computer using just an internet connection and web browser.

Take a look at Google's test of Project Stream with the upcoming game Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Electronic Arts, Nvidia, Microsoft, and Sony are all developing their own cloud gaming services, too. You need to have at least 25Mbps of download bandwidth to use Project Stream.

A video boasting a 1080p, 60 fps stream of Assassin's Creed Odyssey from Project Stream has even been released to show off what the platform is capable of. To be clear: this is not a service where people can stream footage of themselves playing video games like Twitch, it's a service that lets people play games without downloading them by streaming them over the internet.

'The idea of streaming such graphically-rich content that requires near-instant interaction between the game controller and the graphics on the screen poses a number of challenges, ' it revealed.

You can apply to be part of the initial test - which will start on October 5 - by clicking the button below.

OnLive may have been and gone, but the tech giants still see a future in remotely streamed games - soon, Google will be getting in on the action.

Many companies have tried to make game streaming a reality, but up until now, none of them have managed to catch on, with most failing altogether. You will need to be a 17-years or older resident of the U.S., ideally with a 25 megabits per second connection to quality, though.
