As it evolves, we're tracking along with that development and you can see it all here on Chrome Unboxed.

In addition to being able to use third-party game controllers on your TV with Stadia to play your favorite titles, Google’s game streaming platform is now adding the option to connect up your phone as a controller for Android TV users, according to 9to5Google’s latest APK teardown of the app. With what’s being called ‘Bridge […]
One day soon we will see serious Arm gaming Chromebooks. With realistic ray-traced graphics. Rendered on a NVIDIA graphics card. Pinch me, I must be dreaming! A few months ago, our very own Gabriel Brangers reported on an official announcement from NVIDIA about them combining an Arm CPU with an NVIDIA RTX dGPU. This is […]
We’ve reviewed the ASUS CX5 (the 15-inch version) and in most ways, it is a fantastic machine. The 11th-gen Intel Tiger Lake Core i3 has more speed than nearly anything we’ve every tested, the 8GB of RAM is plenty, and the 128GB of NVMe storage allows the user plenty of fast, local storage to use. […]
We did a video not long ago taking a look at the long-awaited Stadia app for Android/Google TV. While Google launched the new (and quite popular) Chromecast with Google TV back in October, Stadia’s official arrival only happened last month. It was a conundrum that didn’t help Stadia out in the least and though it […]
My son is a big fan of playing games like Mad Libs and Lucky Trivia on our Nest Hub. Funny enough, he actually discovered them for himself thanks to Google’s efforts to put them in the spotlight for families over the past year. While we haven’t seen many new games as of late, however, I […]
Today, Valve made a huge announcement. The company announced Steam Deck, a portable game console powered by Linux and a Windows game compatibility program called Proton.

Pokemon Go Fest 2021 begins in just a few days (July 17th and 18th from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 pm local time), and if you’re into the game at all (or as much as my son is), then you’ll be happy to hear that Google has partnered with Niantic and The Pokemon Company to offer […]
We previously reported on a Chromebook in development, code-named Mushu, with a discrete graphics card unit (dGPU). This is the first and only Chromebook we know of that has a dGPU. Such a Chromebook would blow all other Chromebooks out of the water when it comes to gaming. At the time, it wasn’t clear what […]
During the Google for Games Developer Summit today, Google announced a few new features that those who enjoy Android games use to take their experience to the next level. With the explosive growth of Android (3B active monthly devices) and Google Play (2.5B monthly active users), the company’s digital app store has breached 140B installations […]
Whether you’re a Chromebook owner or you simply have an Android phone or tablet, Google Play Pass has become a behemoth of value. Whether or not many would prefer to acknowledge it, Google’s subscription service, which will run you just $4.99 USD per month or $29.99 USD per year always adds a little something for […]
The future of Stadia and the strategy behind its roadmap still eludes me but whatever the plan, Google appears to be pulling out all the stops to get the streaming service in front of more users with every passing day.
