Game Streaming Services in Google Search

usic and video streaming services have recently become very popular. It is convenient when there is no need to occupy the device memory with unnecessary applications and waste time downloading them. In short, Google has also decided to keep up with the trends and helps players find services for streaming games.
Now, if you want to play through a game streaming service, you don't need to know the name of specific platforms. Google will find them itself. Thanks to the latest update, you can enter the game's name in the search field, and Google will show you all the streaming services where that game is available.
Google also has its game service, Stadia. It was reported that the company plans to close this platform by the end of the summer. However, on its official Twitter account, Google denied this information. They said they do not plan to close Stadia and are constantly working on adding new games to the platform.
Regardless, Google does not focus specifically on Stadia in its search. Users can find the game they want on competitors' sites as well. Of course, if the game is on the platform, you will see it in the search results.
Practice shows that so far, not all Google users can enjoy this service. First of all, it depends on the country of residence. Right now, the function is available in the U.S. But even in America, links to streaming platforms may still not appear. The device you use may also play a role. For example, the search will direct you to Stadia if you use an Android. At the same time, the computer version of the browser will show you other platforms. If you live in America and search behaves differently on different devices, try updating the Google app to the latest version.
Is this feature available for you on Google? Where do you usually play games?
