[{"selector":"#anim-8b9b83b1-7f18-4323-a285-1b5237b3ea37","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(117.43421%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bb16e9ee-5068-4c39-acf6-019a7f430c07","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7b141e66-d2e0-4c91-89c2-53ae86a46837","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

According to 9To5Google, for years, Google Search has acted as an aggregator of the world's streaming services.

[{"selector":"#anim-174c27a3-6bc6-485f-8d56-4f9be50fff53","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(117.43421%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-726156df-e7bf-4723-bc06-234a0dd2b4d0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a4b0f6e5-e974-4a14-ab70-425ee446f13f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

[{"selector":"#anim-00b28136-9d5a-47d3-82cc-2c2bbc965a9d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.46052%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-87543b23-0512-47f3-be1d-d5e740c6eaaf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-095f2eef-81e1-4403-8bc9-1bc015e3fca8","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

However, rather than including links to various consoles' storefronts
