This is the 2nd rumor of Sega possibly making exclusive software for Googles upcoming gaming machine. Considering how development news and release date announcements went silent when this machine was still a rumor, and the fact the outputs been low since around the same time as well, I think it's probable that this could be true.
Of course, until the March 18th reveal we won't know for sure, but then the question becomes what games could Sega possibly have set-up if it is true? Sega will likely not put it's PC or PS4 exclusive games on Google. Maybe a 3D Sonic title and a revived dead franchise like Virtua Fighter? Of course Google does have the money to get Sega to bring it's other games exclusively tot he console as well, I just don't think Sega is the company that Google would want to spend rockstar money on.
One things for sure though, from the info so far this Google Console seems to be an actual serious attempt to break into the market and not just another micro-console.
Rumors have been swirling that Google is set to enter the console video game market with not only a streaming service, but its very own hardware as well. We’ve already seen patents for a Google game console controller, and the tech giant is expected to properly unveil the project at the 2019 Game Developers Conference on March 18. And if a new rumor is to be believed, the Google console’s expected unveiling at GDC will include the announcement of a major partnership with Sega to produce games for the device and streaming service.
This rumor appears to stem from YouTube channel Spawn Wave, hosted by Jonathan Downey, who didn’t provide any sources for where he got this information. So fans should take these claims with a massive grain of salt, though the prospect of Sega returning to the console market will no doubt get some gamers excited at the possibilities.
Right now, there’s not a lot in the way of new Sega games announced for existing consoles, which is one reason why this rumor is somewhat easier to believe than it would be otherwise. At the time of this writing, Sega has no main series Sonic the Hedgehoggames announced for PC, PS4, Switch, or Xbox One, and only a handful of other titles have been announced, like Team Sonic Racing, and the PS4-exclusive Judgment. Sega is undoubtedly working on new video games, but perhaps we haven’t heard about them because they are in the works as exclusive titles for Google’s unannounced console.
