Project Stream is Google's newest video game streaming service, allowing users to stream video games directly on the Chrome browser. Unlike Twitch, it doesn't permit players to stream their own gameplay footage but enables users to play high-end games without the need to download them, offering low-latency gaming with graphics quality up to 1080p at 60 FPS.
The technology behind Project Stream focuses on hardware companies like Microsoft and Sony, helping users save memory space with its online gaming feature. With Project Stream, users no longer need to download massive games, sometimes exceeding 100GB. Additionally, it suggests potential development of services allowing users to play games within a limited subscription period. Project Stream tackles online gaming limitations, such as latency issues causing stuttering and lag during gameplay, alleviating gamers' concerns without the need for lag-fixing software. Catherine Hsiao, project manager, stated during the Project Stream launch, 'While watching movies or TV shows, users can tolerate a few seconds delay initially, but high-quality gaming demands millisecond-level latency without compromising graphic quality.'
Currently, Facebook has become a platform where gamers increasingly engage in live streaming their gameplay. When live streaming on Facebook, aside from the monetary support received from sponsors, the amount of contributions from viewers is substantial. Therefore, gamers not only seek viewership but also encourage viewers to share across various small and large communities to attract more audience participation.
