Google is testing game launches directly from search results

Google has started letting users jump right into streamed games from search results. When a game is googled, links are displayed that make it possible to start the game directly, provided the user is logged in to the game service.

This works not only for Google’s own Stadia, but also for services like GeForce Now and Xbox Cloud Gaming. At the moment it seems to be an A/B test as the links are not shown to everyone. How it looks can be seen in the screenshots above and below.

It looks like the Google search engine has a new update for cloud gaming platforms!!!

When searching for a game players can now launch a game directly from the search results utilizing @GoogleStadia. pic.twitter.com/xblOsBpF6O
