Google’s gaming platform Stadia could implement an emulator to support “unmodified” Windows video games. We tell you all the info here!
One of the big problems of Stadia it is due to the lack of flashy games in its library. But it seems that Google is ready to solve this problem, since the company would have in its plans to bring games to Stadia with title support Windows “unmodified”.
The March 15 Google will have the event Google for Games Developer Summit, which is focused on developers. This will talk about Android, Google Play Games for PC and Stadia. One of the panels that caught our attention was the how to write an emulator Windows for Linux right from the start?
In this talk there will be a “detailed summary of the technology behind the solution of Google to run games Windows unchanged in Stadia. This is an in-depth technical walkthrough of some basic concepts with the goal of allowing curious programmers to better understand such technologies and potentially build their own.”
But… What does it mean? With this talk, even though Google I do not provide information about it, it seems that the company wants to incorporate the system Windows to Stadia. The problem is that this platform runs on a basis of Linux, which means that developers have to work harder when bringing a game to the platform or adapting it for said system. However, Windows became the benchmark platform for gaming, and it is probably for this reason that other platforms like amazon moon were created with a base to this system.
This new information is interesting considering that Google announced a Stadia Portability Toolkit which aims to significantly facilitate the change of api In a game of Windows. Everything would seem to indicate that this kit is related to the talk that will be given at the event.
With this intention, Google are looking for a way to eliminate one of the great problems of Stadia. If it were to be true, Stadia could be positioned among some of the best cloud video game services. One of the last to be announced was amazon, Moonwhich would seem to have everything to be one of the best video game services so far.
