Google has taken the wraps off its new gaming service.
Dubbed 'Stadia,' the gaming platform operates entirely on the cloud and lets users 'instantly' stream games on any device, without the need for pesky downloading.
Stadia ditches the traditional console; instead, users can play games with their existing laptops, desktops, TVs, tablets or phones, as well as their own keyboard and mouse.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai debuted Stadia at the annual Game Developer Conference in San Francisco on Tuesday.
The search giant also rolled out its first Google-branded Stadia game controller, which is integrated with its AI-powered Google Assistant.

Stadia builds upon Google's 'Project Stream' initiative last year, which let users play Assassin's Creed Odyssey in Google Chrome with their own PlayStation or Xbox controller.
Similarly, Stadia allows users to play high-quality games that are streamed from Google's cloud.
The service was created with gamers, developers and even YouTubers in mind, according to the firm.
'We wanted to build a game platform for everyone,' Pichai told the audience at GDC.
'...We want sharing games to be as easy as sharing a link and clicking on it.'
Stadia games can be streamed on laptops, desktops, TVs, tablets, and phones.
The service supports up to 4K resolution with HDR color at 60 frames per second and could soon support up to 8K resolution at up to 120-plus frames per second.

While Stadia users can play with their own mouse or keyboard, Google is also launching its own controller.
It's unclear what the Stadia controller is priced at, however.
The wireless controller connects to Stadia through WiFi and has a capture button that lets users share their games instantly to YouTube so others can tune in.
There's also a Google Assistant button that enables voice-activated controls for in-game features.
Stadia is built atop Google's data network, which consists of fiber optic links and subsea cables.
The firm says it has 7,500 edge note locations around the globe, making its data centers closer to players and allowing for low-latency network connectivity.
Low-latency networks are crucial for online gameplay, as it prevents glitches and delays in content playback.
That's infrastructure that 'no one else has' and makes Stadia the 'most powerful gaming platform' available, said Majd Bakar, head of engineering at Stadia, on stage at GDC.

Many had predicted Google would launch something at GDC this week.
Last month, Google sent out invites for a keynote address at GDC, slated to take place on March 19th at 10am (PT), with little information other than the words 'Gather around.'
Rumors began circulating in 2018 that Google was making a move into gaming with its secretive 'Project Yeti.'
A report from The Information detailed how the search giant was eyeing the creation of a game streaming service that could work either on its Chromecast or a Google-made console.
Google reportedly discussed Yeti with game developers, but it is unclear whether any of them will develop a game specifically for Yeti or only make existing streamed games available, the Information reported.
The report also claims the firm has developed several iterations of Yeti so far, as it discusses the project with ‘top-tier gaming developers.'
Aside from Google, Amazon and Apple are also rumored to be mulling their own game streaming services.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
