Ubisoft EMEA executive director Alain Corre gave an interview to MCV, where he discussed at length all the potential of Google's console-less console, Stadia, and what it means to the industry in general.
"We feel that streaming and cloud gaming technologies are bringing something additional to our industry", he said, highlighting the potential Google's platform has to disrupt the current way games are made and played.
"We like the idea of the consumer having more options to consume games. Whether they consume traditionally by buying a physical game, by downloading, or if they prefer to stream games, it's giving them new possibilities. And we will attract new categories of players thanks to this", he said.
Ubisoft one of the first companies to jump aboard the Stadia train and Assassin's Creed: Odyssey has actually served as one of the main benchmarks in Google's testing. About half a dozen of their games have been confirmed for launch on Stadia, with Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, Watch Dogs: Legion and The Division 2 all making the cut, to name but a few.
Corre stressed that Ubisoft always at the forefront of new technologies, such as in the case of the Wiimote and Kinect, and Google Stadia is no exception.
Google's console-less console once again started the debate of game ownership, what with your entire library depending on Stadia's service, but Ubisoft reminded that not many people will find it more convenient to stream games, rather than own physical copies.
