Notably, the game streaming platform was publicly released in November 2019.
Recently, the company announced that it is opening a second development studio for Stadia. Its first studio is located in Montreal.

It will be led by Shannon Studstill who was formerly the head of the venerated Santa Monica Studio that developed the God of War franchise for Sony.
The latest studio is likely to enhance Google’s gaming skills. Though specific details are yet to be disclosed, the studio definitely aims to focus on delivering exclusive games so that it can make its platform more attractive.
We believe the move will enable Google to deliver enhanced gaming experience to players, which in turn will bolster the adoption rate of Stadia.
Moreover, increasing investments by Google to bolster presence in the cloud gaming market, which holds immense potential, is likely to drive growth in the near term.

The presence of an upbeat potential in the cloud gaming market has not only attracted Google but other tech giants like Amazon AMZN, Microsoft MSFT, Facebook FB and Tencent.
In December last year,Facebook acquired a Spanish cloud gaming company —PlayGiga — to gain foothold in the market. Moreover, the social media giant offers Facebook Gaming, which enablesusers to livestream their gameplay.
Further, Amazon is gearing up to announce its cloud-gaming service, which is expected to release in 2020. Moreover, the service will come integrated with Twitch, which offers video game streaming services.
Meanwhile, Microsoft is planning to launch its cloud-gaming platform — XCloud— in 2020, which is currently in public beta stage.
Nevertheless, Google’s growing game streaming initiatives are likely to strengthen its competitive position against the abovementioned companies.
Moreover, the company’s cloud-computing strength isa major positive as it strives to offer low latency, which in turn is likely to deliver better gaming experience.
