While the internet is swarmed with rumors about what Google’s vision for gaming might be, rumors from credible sources hint that Google may be launching its own game-streaming service. What’s even more interesting is that the company is expected to release some sort of hardware for its gaming service at the upcoming event which was evident from a patent of a controller that surfaced last month.
As seen from the patent, the hardware definitely hints the introduction of some sort of gaming console from Google. If that’s not enough, then Google’s SVP of Hardware, Rick Osterloh also tweeted about the event from his Twitter page.

If these rumors turn out to be true, then this will one of Google’s biggest announcement in the past few years. While the gaming console market is predominantly controlled by Sony’s Play Station and Microsoft’s Xbox. Google’s entry in the gaming market will sure turn a lot of hands and is expected to give some sort of competition to the current gaming console giants; Sony and Microsoft.
