Rainbow Six Siege could be coming to Google Stadia and xCloud (Pic: Ubisoft)
Sometimes its easy to focus purely on hardware when talking about next-gen but when Google announced Stadia earlier this year, it introduced a serious competitor to consoles that could reshape the entire industry as we know it.
Of all the major third-party publishers, Ubisoft has the most faith when it comes to adopting new systems and technological innovations. To show that Stadia is the real deal, Google demonstrated one of the biggest and best games from 2019, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, streaming on several devices.
Microsoft also has a stake in this emerging market with its own xCloud service. Teased during last years E3, we could see the companys strategy shift away from its own Xbox ecosystem to include a plethora of connected devices.

“Were looking at it. We need more tests to see how a game performs [when being streamed], especially a first-person shooter. How much that latency is on par with the rest of the platforms.”
“We need to see if the hardware, the servers, and Googles infrastructure will be strong enough. Will it be subpar or will it be better?”
“Its difficult for first-person shooters that are like Rainbow Six because, again, even a couple of milliseconds of latency means death or maybe even winning. We have a higher constraint for our type of game versus a solo singleplayer campaign.”
