Apparently Valve would be working on its own streaming gaming platform whose cornerstone will be Steam, the most important digital store in the world.
We can clearly see how the video game industry is moving towards cloud gaming. Google has invested heavily in Stadia , its cloud gaming platform that aims to revolutionize the industry. Meanwhile, Microsoft and Sony are sticking with their consoles, although everything points to this being the last generation. The latest to enter the streaming gaming race is Valve, which has more going for it.
Steam is currently the largest video game store on the market. The platform that Valve developed after the success of Half-Life and that in the end has become a success. So much so that Valve doesn't even bother to develop video games anymore and lives off its digital store.
It seems that Valve works on its streaming gaming service
The new Steam Cloud Gaming platform has appeared on the company's website, but without further information. The objective is clear, to compete directly against Google Stadia and any other platform that may arise of this type. This platform is not official yet, but it is not something that seems crazy, precisely.
Google Stadia if you can have a competition is Valve, clearly. What Google offers us is the execution of the game that we have previously acquired. Valve has a catalog and a brutal audience and offer something similar is this company. It is sure to be great news for users, who can 'forget' about everything and run the games in their catalog regardless of their hardware.
Remember that a few days ago it was confirmed that Electronic Arts returned its catalog to Steam after years away. Origin has not worked well at all and given the problems, EA would have given its arm to twist. If this bet by Gabe Newell is confirmed, Epic Games can now close its store.
