Despite cloud gaming being announced a couple of years ago, it is still not as popular in the market as gaming on other platforms. But in a bid to make the game streaming more popular, Google is build the service right into its popular search feature itself.
The news arrives from Bryant Chappel of The Nerf Report, who shared the information on Twitter. Apparently, users will soon be able to launch a game on Stadia directly from the search results. Furthermore, this feature will also support Xbox Cloud Gaming, NVIDIA GeForce Now, and Amazon Luna as well. For those enrolled in the test, simply searching for a game on one of those platform will offer a Play button in the information panel.
A good example of the games that will be offered via the search result is Destiny 2 and Halo Infinite. Clicking on the play button will either start up the game or take the users to a landing page on the different streaming platform. This feature is currently being tested with a 9To5Google report noting that the search results can show if a game has timed trial on Stadia or if it is available for free as a part of its premium subscription.
It looks like the Google search engine has a new update for cloud gaming platforms!!!

Video streaming services like Netflix have already had this feature where the content being searched for is just a single click away from the search results. So, it arrives as no surprise that Google also plans on bringing this function for its own cloud gaming service as well as other platforms.
