More information was released regarding the [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chromebooks) [Stadia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utomik) Launch, as the Cloud-based gaming service will now be available on Chrome, Chrome OS, [Chromecast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stadia-phone-link) as well as pixel phones. Google demonstrated at GDC that Stadia games would function on the aforementioned platforms, but recently revealed that Stadia will actually release across all of those platforms.

Google has stated any device that is able to operate a Chrome browser is eligible to play the games provided on the Stadia platform. This would include Android phones, Apple phones, as well as both Mac and PC computers. Stadia will also be available on Pixel devices, including the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3A.
