Cloud gaming: Google is testing the launch of games via its search engine
Google wants to make it easier for Internet users to search for a video game so that they can quickly play if there is a version on a cloud gaming service. A test is currently in progress.
Some people are able to put a game’s name on Google’s search engine and get a listing with Stadia, Xbox Cloud Gaming, Amazon Luna, or even Nvidia GeForce Now. For example, if a person is subscribed to Xbox Cloud Gaming, they can click on the service link to be automatically redirected to it and thus quickly start a game. Here is a video example:
It looks like the Google search engine has a new update for cloud gaming platforms!!!

And here is another example with Amazon Luna:
The feature also works for Amazon’s cloud gaming platform @AmazonLuna! Definitely not as seamless, but still faster than downloading, updating, and jumping into a game. pic.twitter.com/JkvQi0ZcYj

As said before, this is a test. Google does not yet communicate publicly about this novelty, so it’s hard to say when it will be available to everyone.
