The idea of a console/PC-quality video game without the console or PC needing to be involved is a strange one for some gamers (I’m counting myself in this) to wrap our heads around. But if anyone can do it, it’ll be Google, arguably the most technologically powerful company on the planet. Enter Google Stadia, which will stream console-quality games to your smartphone, tablet, or Chromecast TV dongle by leveraging the power of Google’s cloud-based server power.
Seeing as how Stadia is a cloud-based service, its only actual physical component is its brand-new, designed-from-scratch controller. In the video above, we unbox it to take a closer look at it. For a closer look at how it was designed, check out the video below, which we made when we visited Google’s Mountain View, Calif.-based campus.
