Microsoft has secured the service of Kim Swift (Portal) to help develop some cloud-native games for its xCloud service.

Google's vice president and head of product for Stadia, as well as the owner of an incredibly cool name that I wish I had, is no longer with the company.

Micorosft is looking to bring its Chromium Edge browser to the Xbox. Which means that the Xbox will access it a better browsing experience, including other browser based gaming platforms.

With all those games coming to the platform/service, I’m sure users will be rushing to give Stadia another chance...right?

Google’s revolution in gaming is being cut short, as the company announced this week that it is getting out of the game-making business and will now offer its platform directly to game publishers.

Here’s what Google had to say in an event that was purely focused on games and nothing else.

Microsoft will be upgrading their xCloud gaming service to the new generation of consoles early next year.

What began with all of the buzz and hype quickly faded, as Google’s attempt to muscle into the gaming space with cloud-based software that could stream your chosen title from wherever you happen to be (provided that your internet connection was up to scratch), just hasn’t taken off within the larger gaming consciousness.
