We have known that Google is entering the gaming sector for a while now, but the latest rumors suggest they have backup: Sega.
In a video on his YouTube channel, Jonathan Downey, who posts under the channel name Spawn Wave, has outlined all the reasons why he thinks Google is about to enter the gaming market with a console. He also talks about their upcoming streaming service, and how Sega is involved.
The rumors about a console announcement are hotting up, mostly thanks to a patent for a controller, filed by Google on January 31. While no images of the controller officially exist there is some concept art, drawn up based on the features in the patent.
In the video, Downey draws all the rumors together and talks about alleged leaked developer kits for the new streaming service and a new console. He also mentions different companies said to be working with Google, one of which is Sega.
We already know that Ubisoft is on board with Google, since a public beta of their upcoming streaming service featured Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. However, it makes sense that other software partners would also be involved in such a large-scale project.
