At the moment, Google Project Stream is in a testing stage, but those interested can sign-up via the official Project Stream page to secure a beta test spot. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is set to be released on PS4, Xbox, and PC on October 5. That's the time when Googe will begin a trial run for users. Those who wish to participate need to be at least 17 years old, and should have broadband connections with minimum speeds of 25Mbps. We expect to hear more about Project Stream at Google's high-profile hardware event on October 9.
